Day 8 - Sunday 19th March

 Day 8 - Sunday 19th March - "Get on Parade"



Yesterday's welcoming committee of a Phalanx of WRAC Association members plus the wonderful Jazz Band was videoed - I'm still working on my technical skills to post it on here!!  Watch this space!!

Last nights dinner was a most convivial evening - around 250 ladies of the WRAC Association (including ladies of the Auxiliary Territorial Service) enjoyed a delicious meal accompanied by the Yorkshire Band of the Royal British Legion under their Director of Music, Louise Lingard-Snape (Ex WRAC Staff Band). After the meal Brigadier Fiona Gardner CBE gave an entertaining and very informative speech celebrating the strides that women had made and the barriers they had broken through over 100 years of service with the British Army. 



This morning the weather was kind as around 60 women, led by Lt Col Rowena Griffiths MBE and accompanied by the Yorkshire Band of the Royal British Legion, paraded near the Royal Shakespeare Company building. The salute was taken by Brigadier Fiona Gardner CBE. I think that we gave a creditable show to the people of Stratford upon Avon
