Welcome
FORMER, CURRENT AND ATTACHED MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN CORPS OF SIGNALS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE INVITED TO A REUNION FROM Thursday 5TH - Thursday 12th NOVEMBER 2009 IN VIETNAM.
COVERING: SAIGON-MY THO-CU CHI-VUNG TAU- NUI DAT- LONG TAN-LONG HAIS
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to attend the first ever reunion of all former, current and attached members of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals, their families and friends, in Vietnam, covering Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
This event will be held from the 5th November to the 12th November 2009 and will be a full programme to entice everyone to want to come. The cost has been kept to a minimum as being a pensioner I understand that every penny counts. It will surprise you what costs can be saved as drinks and food and some accommodation is reasonably cheap compared to Australia.
I expect by the time the event is to take place that airlines will be fighting tooth and nail for bums on seats and therefore flights should be cheap.
Places you will see in the southern part of Vietnam, included in the price, a day on the Mekong River with lunch, a half day trip to Cu Chi Tunnels to see and experience life in the area. Shooters will also be taken care of as you can fire weapons, for a fee. A tour of the city including, the Reunification Palace, War Remnants Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, Post Office and a Pagoda.
When you go to the beach of Vung Tau you will visit the former sites of 1ALSG, Harold Holt Pool, Flags, street of bars and other attractions. When in the Nui Dat region you will visit the 1ATF Base, Horseshoe, Long Hai’s and the Long Tan Cross.
Special events will be held throughout the reunion so that everyone can have fun and enjoy themselves. Unit functions will also be included during this reunion of all Sigs..
Extra tours can be arranged to the DMZ out of Hue or to Hanoi and Halong Bay but you will require additional airfares and about 4 nights each to enjoy these locations. A tour to Siem Reap (Cambodia) to see the WATS can also be arranged but you will require a multiple entry visa to Vietnam if you are flying out of Saigon for your return journey.
I commend this reunion to you and hope to see as many of you as possible here.
Best wishes,
Gregg Dickson
Chairman of Organising Committee
