The Royal New Zealand Artillery

Greetings to all fellow Gunners,

Well, the countdown has started to the RNZA Association's Annual AGM/Reunion to be held at the Brown's Bay RSA, Auckland over Labour Weekend 21-23 October 2016.

This is a great chance to get together in an informal setting and catch up with fellow Gunners from around the country.  if you are not able to attend the whole weekend, you are more than welcome for what portion suits you.

At the Semi-formal dinner on the Saturday evening we would also like to extend an invitation to any partners of those Gunners who have passed away.  If you know of anyone in this category, please pass this information to them or let the Secretary know. The cost to them will be $65.00.

IMPORTANT - The Reunion Committee is well into the planning, but we need you to indicate your attendance ASAP.  Just your Registration form to be returned would be appreciated.  Part payments can also be accommodated.

At the AGM, the next Committee will be elected.  If you would like to put up your hand up ( or someone else's !!) to be part of the Committee, please let with the President of Secretary know before the AGM.
Think hard about this, it is not an onerous task when the load is shared.  I personally have found it a very fulfilling role and has been a great chance to reconnect with the Gunner Fraternity.  Residence in Auckland is not mandatory.

So, print off the Registration form, email or post back TODAY.

Keep warm and dry and we look forward to catching up with you in October.
