Hi Everyone,
Further to my recent email concerning a request for the HACDA to produce a playing corps for the Beds & Herts. Reunion in Kempston Bedford last Sunday 15th November I am pleased to say that despite the very short notice we did put out a very expeperienced corps that "wowed" everyone
Our corps which numbered twenty and was under the direction of Drum Major Greg Tunesi comprised of HACDA members plus friends from the Guards Division Drummers Association, The Yorkshire Corps of Drums and the Drum Major of the 3rd Battalion Royal Anglian's
It was pleasing to see John Ridgway on parade again and hope his return to the fold after 29 years will encourage him to join us more often
Our parade repertoire consisted of Flag & Empire, Galanthia, Scipio, Rule Britannia, The National Anthem, Hazelmere, The Adjutant, The British Grenadiers.
Trevor Hardwick, Mike Hebden and John Ridgway all volunteered to play Last Post & Reveille and Brian Harrod not wishing to be left out sounded Fall In and The Advance
I have sent a separate email to all those who took part congratulating them on their turn out and performance
I am sure that the some of us will meet again shortly at various other musical events which may include the HAC Drums Dinner next Friday or at the Army School of Drumming at Catterick next weekend
Kind Regards
Martyn

Hi Everyone,
Firstly a big thank you to Shaun Huggins for organising the best past and present drummers weekend at Catterick so far. Nearly 70 of us attended with the objectives of making a recording as a momento of the weekend and enjoying a superb formal dinner in the Sergeant Mess. I also thank his staff who put so much work into the event and made us all feel so welcome. Although Shaun moves on to pastures new (but still in Catterick) Captain Geoff Johnson IG, OC of the Army School of Ceremonial and the Drums Wing has confirmed that the past and present weekends will take place in 2010 and beyond.
Our final meeting for 2009 will be held on Wednesday 9th December. I do hope we have a good turnout as a close to what has been an excellent year for our corps. Please note that the code has changed.
Looking further ahead Martyn Pearson has confirmed that the HACDA weekend at Bisley will be held on 22/23rd May 2010, so please put this date in your diary if you are planning to attend. As usual we will arrange minibus transport from Harewood Barracks to Bisley. The cost of the transport and fuel will be paid from our drums fund.
I attach our latest contact list and our current recruiting poster which I ask you to circulate as widely as possible. In addition to flute players and side drummers (?) we would benefit by recruiting a time beater and Drum Major.
I hope to see as many of you as possible next Wednesday.
Regards
Greg

YORKSHIRE REGIMENT BENEVOLENT FUND
CHARITY DINNER, AUCTION & DANCE - 26th MARCH 2010
I am writing on behalf of the Yorkshire Regiment Benevolent Fund (YRBF) to invite either yourself or your company to purchase tickets for a table at our forthcoming Charity Dinner, Auction and Dance, to be held at Headlam Hall Hotel, near Darlington on Friday 26th March 2010. The purpose of this evening is to raise money for the YRBF. This will be the second time the event has been organised, with this year’s event raising some £2,600.00.
The Yorkshire Regiment was founded in June 2006 and consists of three Regular Battalions and one TA Battalion. The Regiment is the amalgamation of the three historic Yorkshire Regular Infantry Regiments, namely the Prince of Wales’s Own Regiment of Yorkshire (1 YORKS), The Green Howards (2 YORKS) and The Duke of Wellington’s Regiment (3 YORKS), along with the TA Battalion (4 YORKS). A full history can be found at http://www.army.mod.uk/yorksThe YRBF is in place to help soldiers of the Yorkshire Regiment who unfortunately have fallen on hard times and require assistance. Assistance is available for both past and present members of the Regiment and their dependants.
Since the Regiment was founded in 2006, all four of the Battalions have been involved heavily in both Iraq and Afghanistan. 2 YORKS are currently deployed in Afghanistan, as aresome 40 soldiers from 3 YORKS and 65 soldiers from 4 YORKS. These extensive commitments unfortunately have their sacrifices, ranging from minor injuries to the tragic loss of life. The Regimental Benevolent Fund is in place to help those who are affected.
The event will take the same format as that of this year’s; that is, a five course dinner (including cheese board and coffee), an Auction of various lots along with a dance. Tickets are priced at £35 per guest or £350 per table of ten guests. £5 from each ticket sold will start the ball rolling in raising money for the evening and all monies raised from the Auction will add to the evening’s total. Please feel free to contact either Major (Retd) Bob Martin MBE on 01748 822133 or me on 07843 296 779 if you require any further information. Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely
Jeremy Dodd
