Deployments General

Sponsership

1.  This and following pages are for overseas deployments sponsered by the Royal New Zealand Engineers with at least 20 sappers on it. Other overseas deployments with RNZE personal involved but sposered by other organisations are not included here.

Reunions

2.  The purpose of these pages is to build towards reunion social functions. Probably a minimum of 10 people would be needed to make travelling perhaps 1,000 km or from overseas worthwhile. Sappers Association BNZ bank accounts that could be used are:

(a)  National Reunion bank account is only used for 12 months maximum once every three years. It could be used for deployment reunions for each of the other two years in between. This account would be best for large reunions covering a few days and perhaps a turnover of more than $1,000. A set of Performance accounts would need to be signed by the deployment function chairperson and finance clerk for inclustion in the Sapper Association finances to be audited and accepted at the next Members AGM.

(b)  Era Decade Branch bank account is intended to be used for Decade Do's continuously. It could be used for small deploymet reunions covering one evening and a turnover of less than $1,000. A deployment function would be included as a sperate line in the Era Decade Branch accounts and included in the audit and next AGM.

3. Reserved.

Stories

4. Each deployment page could be used to record stories of incidents etc. It's preferable that the name of the person contributing is put at the end of each segment. Admins should try to place contirbutions of the same story by different people in chronological order. Paragraph numbering would come in handy so contributers or commentators can refer more accurately to which part of the story needs correcting or added to.

5. Contributors should be careful of making addmissions that may have them recalled to the army to face a court martial.
