Introduction
First let Arnold apologise to those who missed
out on the first letter, he will accept the blame as
he mailed them out, hopefully we are now up to date
with our Data base.
At this stage we have a total of 67 apps & partners
intending to come and with a bit of luck we may
score a few more yet. We have planned the event to
take in some of the best scenery that this State can
offer. Remember this is not a military affair but a
reunion of long lost friends hoping to catch up with
one another. We have sourced what we believe to be
the best accommodation deals available, as this is a
holiday weekend in Tasmania.
