  2. Planning is being conducted to superimpose Grenadier Day 2010 over the very successful “Grenadiers at Littlecote” gatherings that Colin Knight and John Southern organise and hold at Littlecote House (Hungerford, Berkshire RG17 0SU). The venue will be fully booked for Grenadier use and careful reconsideration of costs revealed that, as an “overlay” to that weekend, Grenadier Day at Littlecote could be covered by the existing budget. There are numerous things to do at Littlecote and Grenadier Day could be extended into the evening with a fireworks display etc. We await further detail on this, but if you would like to attend then please make contact with me ASAP in order we can organise the correct amount of transportation.

  3. If anyone would like to The National Memorial Arboretum for the opening of the Household Division mermorial on Thursday 3rd December please contact by e-mail with your names ASAP e-mail gyoung24433@blueyonder.co.uk
