Sitrep 1, Revised funeral arrangements,
It is with much sadness that I report that MM1A Peter Geary RFA(Retd) crossed the bar on 24th October 2019 aged 69. Peter was not a member of our Association but was, nevertheless, a part of our RFA family.
Peter's funeral service will take place at Thursday 21st November at 12.15 at The Oaks Crematorium (HERE for their website and HERE for a map) conducted by a Celebrant, it is a burial but we preferred a celebrant taking it rather than the religious service at the church followed by interrment at 13.30 at St Thomas à Becket Church Cemetery, Warblington (HERE for their website and HERE for a map).

RFA ASSOCIATION SOUTH WEST GOLF SOCIETY
The society held it last match of the 2019 season at Staddon Heights GC near Plymouth on Tuesday the 22nd October which turned out to be a fine day for playing golf. They had previously played at Tavistock in April on a dry but cold day and then at the China Fleet course in Saltash in August. The end of September saw them playing at Stover, one of Peter Farmer’s two courses, and it was then decided to play at Staddon as the earlier fixture had been cancelled due to the weather. The winner on the day at Staddon was Tony Pitt with 32 points and Bob Burt came second with 31, each getting a bottle of wine. Bob Evens went away with two bottles of wine for nearest the pin on the 4th and 15th holes.
