Just a reminder that its four weeks to the Carrier and Escorts weekend in Wagga.
Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 June at the Oasis Regional Aquatic Centre, in their outside extra wide Olympic pool.
I understand that there are contingents confirmed from Fleet Base Gulf Waters and Fleet Base Sydney, plus members from the ACT and Victoria can be counted on to be there.
I'm heading south and looking forward to catching up with members from all over.
See you there
Mike

This is a great weekend, lots of fun and laughs along with good food. If you can make it, it is worth the trip - just make sure you bring your jackets and a beanie!

Many of these have been posted to our Task Force 72 Facebook Page (why haven't you visited?) and also cross posted to other pages such as Warship 72, Dido Class Cruisers, Realistic Ship Models and Australian Radio Control Model Boats Facebook pages but in case you missed them there, here are a few.

It was a good, if cold, weekend.
