RAQ Sunshine Coast Luncheon 2024
An invitation is extended to all current and past members of RAEME, and friends of RAEME, who live on the Sunshine Coast/ Wide Bay area, or the surrounding region, including Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Visitors to the area at the time are also very welcome.
As you will be aware by now, the prime purpose of the gathering is to provide an opportunity for those of us who live in the wonderful Sunshine Coast region to renew old friendships and meet newly retired ‘Bluebells’ who may have moved to SE QLD. The good news is that this year we have no COVID restrictions in our venue of choice – the Maroochy RSL.
We are pleased to confirm that our guest speaker is COL Kane Wright, RAEME, currently Director of Logistics – Army, Army Headquarters, and recently returned from Fiji, where he was the Defence Attaché – at a very interesting time. COL Wright’s impressive Bio is attached and we are sure he will provide a very informative presentation on his experiences while Defence Attaché, his current appointment in Army Headquarters, and some of his personal background.
The format for the lunch will be the same as previous years, with the Colonel Commandant, Queensland, hosting the lunch, and BRIG (Rtd) Ross Grant AM, acting as MC. We will again be ably supported by the Maroochy RSL catering and bar staff, who as many know, look after our every need including providing our meals from the Club’s famous Gold Plate Menu.
