RAEME Birthday – 28 Nov 2025 - 3 CSSB - Batugade Lines - Townsville

All current and former serving members of the Corps are invited to attend what should be a fantastic event!

102 FD WKSP is gearing up to host a huge RAEME Birthday Celebration at Batugade Lines, bringing together soldiers, families, civilian partners and the wider community. The day kicks off early with a welcome address and a free breakfast, followed by the first round of competitions including Tug-o-War, Volleyball and Go-Kart practice. Organisations and display vehicles will roll in throughout the morning, adding colour and energy to the precinct as the Dyno Showdown and Show ’n’ Shine come to life.

By mid-morning, the pace steps up with the always-popular Spanner Throw, Golf Simulator Competition, Show ’n’ Shine judging and the main Go-Kart races. The precinct will be buzzing with activity as teams battle for bragging rights and spectators take in the variety of demonstrations, displays and hands-on activities. Families and visitors can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere while exploring everything the unit and partners have put together.

A major highlight arrives at 1300 with the M88 Car Crush, drawing a crowd for one of the most spectacular demonstrations of the day. The fun continues with the Chain of Command Relay before all competitions wrap up at 1400. Presentations, speeches and the traditional RAEME Birthday cake cutting will take place from 1415, followed by the raffle draw. The event concludes at 1600, closing out a full day of Corps spirit, competition and community connection at 3 CSSB.
