An event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War is one of the last opportunities to gather as a large group.
Your 131 Locators Association has decided to organise a Reunion for those interested in marking the date. Consequently we are asking for "expressions of interest" for those interested. Please reply to this email with your name and details to sectreas131locators@gmail.com
Attached is the run sheet of activities provided by the DVA . The usual places of interest will be available but no other unit activities are planned at this stage. Social gatherings at local venues are encouraged e.g. The Ainslie Football and social club which is nearby.

1 July 2025
'Locating Artillery" under it's various disguises will reach 100 years of service in Australian Artillery. I have notified the RHAAC who agree and John Cox Chairman of the RAA Regimental History Committee thru Paul Landford is preparing a decision brief to the Executive Regimental Committee (on behalf of the RAA Assoc) in order for a recognised origin date of Locating Artillery to be formally added to the RAA Regimental calendar. John will further consult with the Head of Regimen Staff for their advice on how formal progression for a decision might best occur. We will be advised as soon as the way ahead is determined.
So Please Mark 1 July 2025 down as a must do day I am "assuming although not confirmed" this could be our next reunion date
