 On
the 21st June 2009 an inaugural meeting of the
Club was held at
County
Headquarters
, Farncombe.
At
the meeting, past Commandant, Colonel David Cox OBE and
Captain Gerry Risby explained the idea of the Club which was
to provide an outlet for mulling over old times and to
foster comradeship amongst past members of Surrey Army Cadet
Force, both Officers, Adult Instructors, Cadets and others
involved with the organization. Past or retired rank will
have no bearing in the club, all will be equal.
The
Club will also provide a mechanism for members to keep in
touch with current SACF activities. The SACF Annual Review
will be sent to members.
A
committee was formed to organize events and deal with
administration keeping members informed of events which will
be at least twice a year with a newsletter being sent out
periodically, either by electronic mail or by post to all
current members. Members are required to pay an annual
subscription fee which will be agreed at an appropriate
event by members present. Any surplus after the expenditure
for stationery etc will be used at the next event.
In
the event of the club ceasing to exist then any funds left
over to be given to Surrey Army Cadet Force for the benefit
of the cadets.
 Membership.
At end of 2009 there were 33 signed up members with 8 more
that want to join but have not yet signed up. SACF have
several honorary members including the Deputy Commandants,
Brendon Cooney (Catering Officer), CEO, Nigel Nicholson
(Padre) and David Williams (MO).
Subscription
- £5 minimum p.a. (can donate more if wish) to cover admin and towards events. Cheques payable to
“Surrey ACF”. The need for future subscriptions is to be
discussed on 21 Feb 2010.
Spreading
The Word. Serving
members of SACF may know of ex members and so please spread
the word. When Adults and Officers leave, they will be given
details of the Club as part of their “leaving
documents”.
