                                                Support


                                                The Regimental Headquarters has been
                                                able to support all of this activity through
                                                the Corps funds. Again I am extremely
                                                pleased with the investment policy that we
                                                have in place, a policy which continues
                                                to deliver healthy investment returns.
                                                The returns that we receive are ploughed
                                                back into Corps activities; year on year the
                                                Regimental Headquarters increases the
                                                amount spent on sport, adventure training
          Welcome to the 2016 edition           and on unit fraternal gatherings be they
                                                barbecues, go-karting or the popular
          of the Corps Journal. This is         activity of Go Ape.
          my last foreword as Colonel
          AGC prior to me handing                                         Colonel Andy King, with his wife Ling, at the Founders Day Parade at the Royal Hospital
          over to my successor Colonel                                    Colonel Andy King with the Mayor of Winchester, Councillor Jane Rutter
          Frances Castle in December.
          I wish her every success in
          what is a wonderful job.



          A Successful Year


          This has been a very successful year for the
          Corps; we have enjoyed more adventure
          training, more sport, and more fraternal
          gatherings than ever before.  Teams and
          clubs have enjoyed tours to places such
          as Jamaica, France, Canada and South
          Africa. We also have been very successful
          and can boast a number of inter-Corps
          champions. We also hosted the largest ever
          Triple Crown Challenge at Worthy Down
          in May. I have been extremely pleased
          with the initiative shown by individuals
          and units in planning all of these events
