On Wednesday 13 May the AGC hosted their annual Triple Crown event which for the first time welcomed veterans from antecedent corps to come and support the teams. It was also an occasion for the AGC Association to sign a Bond of Friendship agreement with the associations of three of its antecedent corps – the WRAC, RAPC and RAEC & ETS Br.
The WRAC Association brought along a group of their veterans who were treated to a trip down memory lane with a guided heritage tour around the camp and lots of time to explore the various stands and interactive exhibits. The AGC and RMP museums displayed items from Corps history; artefacts, vehicles and equipment, including a vintage Rolls Royce which gave a few guests a ride around the site.
Whilst the Military Skills competition was underway, many veterans watched whilst others visited the AGC sports team stands, took part in cricket challenges and hockey games, and hopped on a table for a quick massage. They even had the opportunity to try and pull a Land Rover as part of the Army Strongman & Strongwoman challenge!
Following a delicious curry lunch, Paula Rogers, CEO of the WRAC Association, signed a Bond of Friendship agreement with AG Corps Colonel Stu Allen. The Bond acknowledges the shared goals, common values and interests which exist between the two Associations and recognises a relationship which is underpinned by mutual respect, cooperation and a commitment to support one another.
