  1. 2RAR Association is not providing funding for the Reunion. The Reunion is self-funding with costs being covered by sponsorship and attendees’ payments (registration). Costs incurred by the Reunion Committee in organising the Reunion will primarily be at their own expense. The Committee will not be reimbursed expenses from funds collected from registration fees. The Committee continues to actively seek additional sponsorship to defray the overall cost of staging this event and to achieve value for money.

 

  1. Portion of the cost of the ticket will pay for administrative activities including costs of printing, stationery, postage and nametags.

 

  1. Townsville City Council is providing substantial logistic support (in-kind sponsorship) at no cost to us.

 

  1. Townsville RSL is providing logistic support (in-kind sponsorship) at no cost to us.

 

  1. A Department of Veteran Affairs grant is pending.

 

  1. Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre have provided exceptional concessions to the Dinner venue. This event will be enjoyable, fulfilling and spectacular.

 

  1. Private enterprise sponsorship is currently being sought. Sponsors have donated quality prizes to be drawn during the Reunion, including a 2-night holiday accommodation package in Cairns.

 

  1. The Federal Member for Herbert (Townsville) is also providing 32 Australian national flags to be carried on the City March. These flags will represent each Australian soldier of 2RAR KIA in Vietnam. 10 New Zealand flags will also be paraded together with the Australian flags; 42 flags all together.

10. To see who is supporting us, go to ‘Sponsors’ webpage on the 2RAR Association website. They are all listed.

 

11. Note that early bird registration has been made deliberately cheaper to encourage early registration thereby allowing more detailed planning to be completed nearer to the Reunion.
