HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOUSE FOR WEDNESDAY 16th HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE[NOT TO MUCH CAKE]

HOME HQ



1. I have been asked by Thelma Lane and her family to pass on their sincere thanks and gratitude for all the messages of condolence and tributes they have received to her late husband, Major Brian ("Bronco") Lane, who passed away on 10th November. She and the family would also like to thank all those that attended the funeral service which demonstrated the respect that Brian was held in by hundreds of friends. Understandably, there are far too many messages for Thelma and the family to respond to personally however, they would like their thanks to be passed to everyone.

2. A former Blues and Royals Officer has asked me to make the following employment opportunity known to the membership:

CARETAKER/SECURITY MANAGER, EAST DEVON : To act as Caretaker and Security Manager for a sizable country house in Devon in the absence of the residents while living full time in the gatehouse of the property. Contract likely to last at least six months while the house is on the market. This job would be suitable for a proactive single person who will take ownership of the role and take personal pride in its appearance, its security and the daily functioning of the staff. PAY: £2.5k per month. Start date 26 Dec. A more detailed Job Description is attached and any queries or application should be made to: oliver.birkbeck@guardcorps.co.uk.

3. The Service Personnel & Veterans Agency (SPVA) cover a large number of aspects that may be of interest to those that have served in the Armed Forces. If you need information on anything from Veterans issues, medals, Service Pensions and provision of the Veterans Badge etc. If you have any queries or just require information, please visit: http://www.veterans-uk.info/

4. The Regiment continues to serve in Helmand Province, Afghanistan until April/May 2010. To date they have been very busy and for operational reasons their activities are not disclosed when information (however innocent) could be used to assist the enemy. I am sure you will join me in wishing all members of the Household Cavalry Regiment (and all Armed Forces personnel) a quiet Christmas and New Year and the safe return to their families and friends. Home HQ will be closed down from 18 December 2009 - 4 January 2010 however, if you do have any important issues please leave a message at the number below and the voicemail will be monitored throughout the period.

I thank you all for your continued support to the Association and wish you all a pleasant and prosperous Christmas and New Year.

ROYALS RUGBY TEAM

latest from Multiply

Much of the work in prepping for our datacenter move has been done, and we are targeting tomorrow afternoon US/Eastern time (Saturday December 5th) to start migrating customer data to the new facility in Miami.

(For those who are curious, Saturday afternoon is our lowest-traffic time of the week)

This means that for a short period of time the site will be unavailable for maintenance, and accounts will come back on-line as soon as they are moved. We are working hard to make the transition as smooth as possible, and to minimize any downtime or disruptions.

Once this phase is complete, there will be one more maintenance window that will be required to complete the move, which will happen approximately 10 days from now. At that point, the move will be complete and we'll be up and running in our new facility, with faster hardware than ever.
