David Lindsay:
I
have
supported
the
association
over
many
years
and
have
benefited
from
all
the
work
others
have
put
in
to
organise
the
events
that
I
have
so
eagerly
attended.
I
now
feel
it
is
time
I
should
contribute
something
myself
to
assist
the
Association
in
its
work.
I
am
putting
myself
forward
for
one
of
the
vacant
seats
on
the
Executive
Council
because
I
have
the
organising
abilities
and
the
drive
to
get
things
done
and
I
have
plenty
of
free
time
that
I
can
allocate
to
the
Association's
work
now
that
I
am
retired.
The
Association
has
made
great
strides
in
improving
communications
with
the
membership
over
the
past
few
years
with
the
updated
Newsletter,
the
website,
the
use
of
email
and
social
media.
But
there
are
still
a
great
number
of
ex-ACC
personnel
that
we
are
not
reaching
and
who
are
not
inclined
to
join
us
in
the
Association.
I
had
a
Cook's
typical
employment
and
experiences
during
the
time
I
served
in
the
Corps
with
various
postings
in
Germany
and
UK;
achieving
the
rank
of
Corporal
before
I
left
the
service.
I
feel
I
am
well
placed
to
represent
many
of
those
potential
new
recruits
and
would
seek
ways
to
work
with
the
Executive
Council
to
bring
them
in
as
full
active
members
of
the
Association.
For
the
Association
to
have
a
viable
and
thriving
future
we
need
to
encourage
the
forty
and
fifty
something's
to
join.
They
would
be
my
prime
targets
as
potential
new
members.
I
would
also
look
at
how
the
Association
could
listen
to
the
views
of
the
current
membership
and
potential
new
recruits
on
what
would
make
the
Association
meet
more
closely
their
needs
and
their
aspirations
for
the
Association
going
forward.
As
a
keen
sports
fisherman
I
am
already
in
the
throes
of
planning
the creation of an ACC Angling Club. Just like the ACC Golf and Ski clubs, it would be open to all members of the Association.
Erik Crichton:
Having
served
on
the
Council
for
the
past
few
years
I
feel
that
I
am
fully
aware
of
the
requirements
necessary
to
be
a
full
and
active
member
of
the
Council
and
the
Association.
With
this
experience
I
feel
that
I
am
in
the
best
position
to
be
able
to
continue
to
serve
and
represent
our
Association
members.
I
would
hopefully
represent
the
silent
majority
and
give
them
a
voice
at
Council
especially
in
trying
to
foster
more
involvement
of
members
at
a
local
level.
I
became
a
member
of
the
ACC
as
a
boy
soldier
in
1961.
After
nine
years
my
career
took
a
much
different
path;
I
became
a
London
Firefighter
and
remained
so
until
my
retirement
in
2001.
During
that
time,
I
have
also
been
an
officer
in
the
Army
Cadet
Force
for
27
years
and
retired
in
2015.
I
have
therefore
never
been
far
from
a
military
life
and
feel
my
experiences
can
help
me
to
be
of
further
service.
I
certainly
have
the
time
and
availability
to
attend
meetings
on
behalf
of
our
members
as
and
when
required.
Over
the
years
I
have
come
to
realise
that
it
is
very
important
to
be
part
of
something
that
engenders
comradeship,
friendship
and
a
sense
of
belonging.
As
they
say
"no
man
is
an
Island"
and
as
we
all
served
together
in
the
ACC
and
were
proud
of
that,
by
being
a
member
of
the
Association
this
continues to serve those needs. If elected I would continue to serve you and help the Association to prosper over the coming years.
Harry Page:
I
joined
the
ACC
as
a
boy
entrant
in
February
1961
and
completed
my
service
in
November
1972.
Since
then
I
have
been
working
in
the
retail
sector
until
retiring
about
five
years
ago
at
the
age
of
67.
I
have
good
communication
skills
and
have
a
good
standing
with
my
ex-ACC
colleagues
being
friends
on
Facebook
with
approximately
450
of
them.
I
am
also
active
with
the
“Veterans”
Breakfast
Club
so
feel
I
will
be
able
to
represent
their
interests
at
Committee
Meetings.
I
am
a
regular
member
of
the
association
who
attends
many
events
around
the
country
and
in
particular
have
taken
my
place
helping
to
say
a
farewell
to
those
ex
ACC
Comrades
who
have
passed
away.
I
am
a
deacon
at
the
local
Baptist
church
in
Farnborough,
Hampshire
and
currently
have
the
responsibility
of
looking
for
a
new
minister
for
the
church.
My
wife
and
I
have
two
sons
and
we
have
5
and
two
thirds
grandchildren
(next
one
due
early
2018).
I
am
semi-disabled
but
can
still
drive
and
feel
I
would
be
useful on the committee. I would be very grateful for your vote
Paul Sieloff:
I
would
like
to
stand
for
election
for
the
vacancy
on
the
executive
council
of
the
Army
Catering
Corps
Association.
I
joined
the
Army
Catering
Corps
in
1974
and
served
until
1985.
Since
then
I
have
been
a
regular
supporter
of
the
ACC
Association
and
have
attended
events
on
a
regular
basis.
Many
members
will
know
I
have
an
extensive
collection
of
ACC
Memorabilia
and
in
recent
years
I
have
loaned
many
items
to
the
Association
for
display
at
events
in
particular
the
Corps
Sunday
event
where
a
display
is
always
shown.
I
have
also
given
support
at
other
events
such
as
the
RLC
Open
Day.
This
year
I
was
able
to
loan
an
ACC
Forage
Cap
to
a
lady
who
wished
to
display
this
at
her
husband’s
funeral.
I
have
participated
in
the
veteran’s
team
representing
the
ACC
Association
at
the
Army
Cookery
competitions
held
at
Grantham
each
year.
I
am
a
regular
at
the
Association
All
Ranks
event
at
Hayling
Island
each
year
and
am
proud
to
be
a
part
of
the
ACC
Contingent
at
the
Cenotaph
on
Remembrance Sunday. If Elected I will support members interests and promote the name of the ACC.
