Comms had some in the past and then evolved into C4ISR dinners - however, I'm not sure what the future holds with the migration to CIS and GSSR. As you say, cracking nights (followed by thumping heads usually!).

SM dinners in President ok, but a bit low key. Perhaps if we had ratings in the "Branch" they would get better.

When people started getting fined for leaving the table, bad driving, bad directions and so on There were a few nervous people!

And the exploding candle, well just didnt see that one coming!

But we never got the youngest person to do anything, Isn't it tradition they have to say a prayer/toast?

Branch mess dinners aren't that new - AWNIS had one back in 2001.

ok, ok, I stand humbly corrected on this one, there have been others in the past, I just wasn't aware of them...wasn't even in, in 2001 lurch . But they are a damn fine idea...... float them up your div channels ladies and gents.......it only cost us a fiver each for a good meal some wine and a good crack with enough time left over afterwards for those who wanted to either go out or stay in and get completely trollied to do so.

Not going to say anything about Cinderella leave :evil:

Slightly off thread, but I've been trying for to get some interest in arranging a 'regional' mess dinner/summer ball, but don't seem to be getting anywhere, (seems that some individual mess commitees are against the idea, prefering to organise their own and end up cancelling/losing money due to lack of interest). I'm not suggesting that my unit should host said dinner, but it could be arranged as a regional commitee or by the host unit commitee, and rotated on a yearly basis. what do we reckon? (i'm in the south west region by the way).

I would definately attend any national Ball/mess dinners. I believe Vivid had a bounty ball, maybe we could do something similar but open it up to everyone?

 

[buster]
