I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer. 1) Who is on the 150th Anniversary Committee? 2) Who is in Command of the Committee? 3) How do I contact the Committee? How do I join the Committee if this is possible?

How soon will we know when HRH would let us know

I find it rather strange, that they would schedule the Regimental Birthday and Drumhead Ceremony on 24 January when the following Tuesday night 31 January IS the actual date of our 150th Anniversary. Why would it be scheduled the week before our actual birthday???(Although it has been said that the timetable is subject to change)

Wouldn't it be AWESOME if the soldiers of the Regiment were included in the Dinner WITH His Royal Highness. After all He IS the Colonel-in-Chief of the entire Regiment and not only the Officers of the Regiment. (Food for thought)
