INTER-COMPANY TRAINING & VISITS
Sir Peter Wall; Lt Gen Sir John Lorimer, Chief of Joint Operations; Lt Gen Sir George Norton, UK Military Representative; Maj Gen John Cracket, Director Reserves (Army); Maj Gen Ranald Munro and Asst Chief of Defence Staff (Reserves and Cadets).
Being part of one of the most
academic cities in the world, we
were also very fortunate to be able
to host members of academia
including Professor Sir Mark
Welland, Master of St Catharine’s
College, Prof Geoffrey Ward
Principal Homerton College, Professor Ian White Master of Jesus College and Professor Dame Carol Black Principal of Newnham College. This added a very valuable dimension to the evening enabling essential integration between the University Colleges and Cambridge UOTC.
The dinner was superb, with Grace sung
by The Gentlemen of St John’s and Music throughout the evening by the Woodwind section of The Band of the Third Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment. The resounding tunes
by the Pipers were rewarded by a tot of whisky and a ‘slangevar’ with the Commanding Officer. With skilled perfection the dinner ended on time and all the OCdts and many guests returned to the ARC to kick off the high heels, loosen the collars and have a
relaxed drink and chat into the small hours.
