LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
To all Association Members.
Firstly may I wish every one of you and your
families a Happy and Prosperous 2018.
Many of your will realise that during 2017 our
Association underwent a fundamental change
in it governance and structure and at the same
time the reduction in the Civil Service manning
levels within the MOD. In essence we no long-
er have the support so handsomely given by
the two Regimental Offices at Gloucester and
Salisbury. Perhaps more importantly we will
miss the corporate knowledge of both Lesley
Bradshaw and Sue Nelmes.
The day to day running of the Association now
falls to those of us who have volunteered to
assume key appointments within the Associa-
tion.
Before going on to provide you with an insight
into how we will conduct our business in fu-
ture I wish to pay tribute to Colonel Stephen
Oxlade MBE, for the outstanding contribution
he has given for the past ten years. Col Ste-
phen has been at the helm from the time of
the creation of the Rifles and has provided the
calm and reassuring leadership required as
new Regiments are formed, being conscious
of members fierce loyalties to their own cap
badge whilst transitioning to the new. I sus-
pect that for many the highlight of his tenure
will be the Association's Commemoration of
the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Loos at
Windsor. So on everyone’s behalf, heartfelt
thanks to Colonel Stephen for not only that
splendid occasion but also for the past ten
years of endeavour and leadership.
With the loss of the support from the two
County Offices the Association is going to
have to rely completely on the work of volun-
teers at all Levels.
Essentially each of the component counties
from the Regimental Areas of the RGBW foot-
fall will now assume responsibility for organis-
ing and running the Reunion Events that
happen in Berkshire, Gloucestershire and Wilt-
shire. So Gloucestershire Committee will run and
organise the Back Badge Reunion at St Mary’s
Lode, the Berkshire Committee will run with the
Maiwand weekend reunion in Reading and the
Wiltshire Committee will assume responsibility for
organising the Salisbury and Devizes Reunion
week ends Events like the Officers Chavenage
Lunch and the RGBW Officers lunch at the Ward-
robe will be run outside of the Association Gov-
ernance though whatever support the Association
is able to provide will be forthcoming.
Our biggest problem at the moment is ensuring
we can communicate effectively with all our for-
mer Regimental Members. In the past the Annual
Newsletter was sent out by mail. As the then Cura-
tor of the Museum at the Wardrobe I used to see
the team drawn in By Lt Col John Venus to enve-
lope the Newsletters whilst the museum attendant
made numerous return journeys to the post office
with a laden sack trolley. With the advent of IT we
have progressed to electronic distribution, howev-
er one point has becoming glaringly obvious as
we have assumed the data base of the member-
ship. If the data is correct we have a data base of
some 11,000 former Regimental Members but
less than 1,900 email addresses. So I will be ask-
ing Branches to ensure that those Local Branch
Members who do not use computers are given
hard copies of the Calling Notices for the Reun-
ions Events so that they are able to bid for a place
and we can hopefully increase the numbers at-
tending and reverse the trend of a drop in num-
bers in 2017 due I suspect to no Newsletter going
out.
Whilst this Newssheet is brief and to the point the
aim is to produce a monthly one to allow Branches
to post news and reports of future and recent
Events so please pass on any input to the Secre-
tary or Chairman. You can find our contact details
at the foot of Page 11.
