17
Construction Squadron Workshop – Reunion Cruise 2011
We have deided on a Three Night Cruise out of Sydney sailing on Friday 29th April 2011.
For
the romantics an evening sailing ensures viewing the lights of Sydney
will be something special as will our entry through the heads as the
sun comes up upon our return.
The Pacific Jewel will provide
many opportunities to socialise with all meals & entertainment
included in the cruise cost. We (you and me) only pay for beverages
& gaming in the casino.
For the ladies there is a Day Spa
attraction. Remember the cruise is the reunion so you can become
totally involved in ship activities & entertainment or just relax.
The
twin cabins consist of two beds at floor level whilst the quads do have
double bunks so the decision for couples is fairly easy but for the
single guys who
want to minimise costs by sharing, talk to your friends & decide whether a twin or quad is for you.
Some
members have indicated a willingness to arrive in Sydney early to
participate in the Anzac Day march through the city. Whilst this is not
part of the reunion we can organise to
assemble under our banner
& either march with the RAEME contingent or with 17 Construction
Squadron who have a new active Association which has been formed in
Sydney.
Our hard working Travel Agent, Dale Harris, has
hounded the cruise companies to obtain cruise dates & prices, this
has been an unenviable task as the cruise companies
don’t give
much early detail. There is now another hurdle, the major Travel Agents
on behalf of the cruise companies are now starting a promotional
campaign for these Short
Breaks, which are very popular with people who want to sample a cruise before they embark on longer cruises.
So,
it is imperative that the Travel Form be completed for each passenger
& the deposit for each passenger be forwarded to Dale promptly (I
would suggest not later than
the end of June). Dale has reserved
50 cabins with P&O but they will not hold them unless the deposits
are paid. I know many of us do not decide to attend our reunions until
late due to a variety of reasons including health but, a cruise was agreed at The Alice allowing time to plan.
As the brochure in the Newsletter states “Don’t Delay Deposit and Book Today”
Only

2011 Reunion
