Field Dining Nights 2012
After the first Field Dining Night 2011 the organisers decided that the work of setting up and dismantling the tentage was too much and that Field Dining Nights would cease.
Fortunately Ted and Heather McAllan, who lived just two doors from Barry and Pam Wright where previous Field Dining Nights had been held, offered their house for future Dinners.

Thirty five members and friends enjoyed the Association's six monthly mixed dinner on the terrace of Heather and Ted McAllan's home at Jimboomba on Saturday night, 13th October 2012. Previously this function was held a couple of doors away at a bush camp setting in Pam and Barry Wright's property but the advancing years of the organisers and helpers and Heather's and Ted's kind offer changed the location this year.
It was a cool evening with all being well wrapped, but the company was warm and a great time was had by all. Barry Wright's 80th birthday was also celebrated.
Bob Collins was the Dining President and Phil Ainsworth gave a short talk about the Association's recent activities, particularly about those relating to kindred organisations.
Many of the attendees took advantage of the opportunity and camped the night at Wright's. Although the number who can attend is limited due to space limitations, if you do get the opportunity to attend one. do so and enjoy a memorable dinner in a formal military setting in the bush.
Heather and Ted and their helpers are thanked and congratulated for their wonderful contribution towards bringing the members together in such a delightful setting.
