Vancouver Artillery Association Update.

The Change of Command parade (May 13th) has now been moved back to Bessborough Armoury.  Apparently, the field where the parade was to take place is not drying out as quickly as was hoped.  We will not deploy the 25pdr to UBC.  It will have to be moved to make room for the parade and we may set it up as a display.  More to follow

We have a request from the BC Army Gala event (May 6th at Seaforth Armoury) to set up the 25pdr as a display at this event.  More to follow.

On the 26th of May 2017, we will be celebrating our annual Artillery Day which is based on the birth date of the Royal Artillery in 1716.  We are planning to set off in small convoys of restored military vehicles to visit the locations manned by the Regiment in WW2 and to honour the history of the 3,000+ personnel that have served in the Regiment throughout its history.  More details to follow.

We are putting in an order for items from the RCA Kit Shop.  Anybody need any gunner items?  We can get a break on shipping charges if we put all items requested on a single order.  Please let Bob Mugford know what you want ASAP. news15rca@gmail.com
