On the Saturday the Intelligence Conference was conducted, commencing with a Power Point presentation by LTC Ashley Rachel Pollard, providing an overview of the history of the campaign. This was followed by a briefing by RGHQ-51's "S2" 1LT Nikki Swift. After lunch there was an in depth discussion of the current situation and objectives were set for 2007.
The Regimental Dinner commenced with a drinks reception at 18:00, and the meal itself began at 18:30. As this was the 10th anniversary of the CONTACT campaign, it was nice to see some old faces: Simon Anderson, Tracie Anderson, Chris Booley, John Gathercole and Martin Slaughter. The turnout was very good in terms of numbers and people's efforts. Posh frocks, dinner jackets, and dress blue uniforms all around, very impressive. See the Gallery at the bottom of this page (courtasy of CPL Gary Stratman).
Towards the end of dinner, and prior to the appearance of the Port, we conducted the medals awards ceramony. Each recipient was called up in turn, in ascending order of importance of award, to recieve their decorations from Brigadier Dean Wayland, with Lieutenant Clive Rushen reading the Citations, which were then passed on with the medal. The decorations themselves were awarded in presentation cases, containing the full sized medal, a ribbon on a bar, and a lapel pin. The recipients were as follows:.
| 1st | Second Lieutenant Anthony Grana-Priego | Achievement Medal |
| 2nd | Staff Sergeant Simon Doidge | Commendation Medal |
| 3rd | Lieutenant Colonel Ashley Rachel Pollard | Commendation Medal |
| 4th | Master Sergeant Susan Berry (Medical Officer) | Meritorious Service Medal |
| 5th | First Lieutenant Nikki Swift | Meritorious Service Medal |
| 6th | First Lieutenant Tracie Anderson | Soldier's Medal |
| 7th | Master Sergeant Susan Berry (Medical Officer) | Legion Of Merit |
| 8th | Staff Sergeant Frank Jackson (Medical Officer) | Silver Star |
Stephen Churchett, who was unable to attend will be awarded his decorations at CON-64 at the end of March.
After the awards, came the Port and tosts, as usual given by the youngest person present. Again this year this was Lieutenant Nikki Swift, who did a great job. Captain Stephen Clarke then set about photographing the medal winners (his photos are yet to be uploaded, the ones shown are courtasy of Corporal Gary Stratman). First Sergeant Graham Worsfold provided some entertainment in the shape of a large race track, but most folks settled down to the serious business of drinking and telling old war stories. The last of us retired circa 04:00.
The Sunday was devoted to technical and proceedural issues. Including the deployment of new weapons and equipment for 2007. The Brigadier provided a presentation, with the aid of LTC Ashley Pollards computer and projector on the new dress uniform, which is replacing the difficult to procure "blues". Details will be posted at a later date.
Both the conferences, the dinner and the shooting trials were considered by all as a great success. I would like to thank everyone for making this event a great deal of fun for all, and hopefully, those of you who could not make it this year, will be along for the next one in February '08.
