From John Schumann
Well, I think you organised a blinder of an event. And you were a pleasure to work with all the way along the line.
Thanks for inviting us to play. I hope we did the business for you

Congratulations & thank you for an amazing 9 RAR Birthday.
From Ross & Lesley Richard
We wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful reunion. There was no part of it that we did not really enjoy, especially meeting up with friends, old and new.
Your hospitality and welcome was second to none, you should all be very proud of what you put together.
Whatever Betty is on to keep her going for a week none stop please send a gross to us!
We are in equal parts keen to get home but also very sad it is all over.
Our love and thanks again to you all.
From Ted & Karyn Chitham
RARA SA has done the 9th Battalion The Royal Australian Regiment proud with its organisation and conduct of an excellent re-union. So full of 50 year old memories and reminders.
No doubt you and your Team have set the highest standard.
Duty First and Duty Done
Congratulations

From the Kiwis
Just a quick email to thank you, your committee, and all the 9 RAR family for the great reunion that we all enjoyed. The 4 Kiwis, and their wives and partners, were given a wonderful welcome to your reunion, and we all spent time meeting up with old friends, and some new ones!
We never felt that we were outsiders – but always were part of the battalion just as we were in 1968 and 1969. This started when we went out to Brighton on Sunday for the C Coy get-together, continued on Monday night at the Dinner, and in particular, on Tuesday at the Commemorative Parade and Service at Keswick Barracks. It was a great honour to be included in the way we were.
All our very best to you all, and we are looking forward to hearing of your next reunion!
