RAEME Sunshine Coast Luncheon 2019

With 90 members and guests in attendance, the Sunshine Coast lived up to its reputation with perfect weather and great venue to host this year's Luncheon. We had the honour this year to have as a special guest our HOC BRIG Andrew Freeman. 

Our MC for the day was our Patron Ross Grant, with the event host our Hon Col Comdt COL Steve Evans. We had another special member in attendance, and that was BRIG (Rtd) Bert Barker. For those who know Bert, he is a founding member of the Corps and it was great that Bert came all the way up from Northern NSW for the day. In recognition of Bert's contribution to the Association, he was presented with a Chairman's Award by RAQ Chairman Jeff Maurice.

After lunch we got to hear from both COL CMDT Steve Evans and also HOC BRIG Freeman. He spoke of how the Corps is in really good shape and relayed a number of great stories from the recent exercise Talisman Sabre held at Shoalwater Bay. Today's RAEME Soldiers really are driving success in the Corps and broader Army, with the "Esprit de Corps" alive and well. 

With the HOC present it was only fitting we recognise a number of Members who have contributed to the success of the Association. Congratulations to the following members:

Honorary Life Membership Tony Borg (No.7) Chairman's Award Bert Barker Ross Grant Mike Prain Barry Skinner Eddie Bevans

For what has now become an entrenched tradition on the Sunshine Coast, we need to say thank you to the organisers Ross Grant, Mike Prain and partners, and also to the Marroochydore RSL and staff for providing such a great day.

A big thank you to RAQ Member Ewan Mcleod, All the photos of the day are available in the Photo Gallery.
