We’re going on a holiday – Come with us. Read below
Hello All and apologies if you receive this more than once. Everyone is scattered through various lists.
I have just gone through my address book to select people who might be involved in an East Sale Reunion either WRAAF or RAAF. And then decided I’d best just let everyone know what we are thinking. We being a few East Sale girls who, within the WRAAF reunions, have a mini reunion of their own. We know as the years are passing the lines are blurring between musterings and years served, but also as people find each other there are groups from various bases developing.
With the future of an Australia wide WRAAF national reunion in doubt for the near future and perhaps not at all, we have decided to take our own path until the National Reunion finds a new way. So we have sent a message to all our contacts and have canvassed their opinion of going on a cruise in 2016. The time of the year best served would be September. Some feedback has been positive as I have posted to Ex WRAAF Group site (https://www.facebook.com/groups/142738155786984/) and Ex WRAAF & Airmen and others site (https://www.facebook.com/groups/164552793710692/).
However, the above group Ex WRAAF & Airmen are having their own group reunion at Coolum next year in November. This group was born through Equipment people but has expanded to accept all East Sale People. There reunion details are

It has been pointed out that we, the WRAAF group from East Sale, could conflict with the above reunion. I agree that this may be a problem, though the WRAAF of our group are very close and if that were all, then I don’t think it would be a problem. However, there are other people who have asked to be included and I am not one to turn away a reunion participant. After all, these reunions are to find other people and get them to join our post service reunions.
So, we will look into another time, after consultation with my friends, and hopefully we will all find what we are looking for.
I would ask the people on committees around the nation to please let the WRAAF know if you intend on taking up the cudgels and organise another national. If not, and only then, will I do as promised and try to organise the mother of all WRAAF cruises in 2017. Our East Sale Group are still considering our options for 2016.
