The W3 RNZIR 50th Anniversary Reunion which was to be held the weekend 20 - 22 November 2020 in Wellington is postponed.

 The organising committee for the 2020 reunion in Wellington  are advising veterans that the November reunion is postponed until 2021.

The decision to postpone while regrettable was formed by the uncertainty concerning national travel restrictions, the lack of airline schedules and ticket deals, the unknown government reaction should further Covid-19 outbreaks occur, and the potential stressors on individuals concerning their health or financial status.

Individuals who have made bookings or arrangements for November are encouraged to cancel and guest invitations should be withdrawn.

Not all is forlorn, the Committee will soon survey veterans and whanau with reunion options for 2021, likely being:

  • A W3 event in Wellington on a date in 2021 (date TBC in late 2020); or
  • Joining a national reunion in December in Burnham.

The reunion organising committee is Mark Binning (Mortars) and Walter Goodman (2 Platoon). Neil Ure (3 Platoon) is again reunion treasurer and Bruce Young (Mortars) will continue to manage the communications via website and email.
