CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR DEPLOYED UNITS - UPDATED
As we approach the Christmas period, thoughts are naturally being given as to how best to send some Christmas cheer to the deployed units in Afghanistan. Since the sending of parcels to deployed locations over-burdens the BFPO and in-Theatre transportation (at the expense of family mail), it is requested that any individuals - or RAF Regt Assoc branches - who wish to contribute should send cheques to the Regtl Sec - payable to the RAF Regt Fund - and he will forward the money to the respective units for them to use as appropriate. Given the likely UK postal surge at that time, all such cheques should be sent by end-Nov to ensure that the money can be distributed in good time. RAF Regt Assoc branches are asked to coordinate their contributions where possible to ease the administrative task. For other means of donation, please visit the MOD Website at www.mod-uk. [CPeN 162]
