75 Squadron NZ Association 2012 Reunion

Every two years, the 75 Squadron-RAF-RNZAF Association of New Zealand select a venue/city and hold a reunion. The reunion is available to all Association members, which are personnel that once served on the Squadron, or are associate family members, or associate friends of the Squadron. Non-members wishing to join the reunion must first join the Association by contacting the Secretary. Details and forms are available on the offical 75 Squadron Association website.

The weekend activities for the 2012 reunion begin with a meet and greet at the Coachman Motel in Palmerston North, where all registered attendees will be issued with a party-pack. Saturday morning, all members will journey to RNZAF Base Ohakea, a bus is supplied, for the Airshow of the 75th birthday of the RNZAF. A marquee will be the Associations centre of activities, where members can take refuge from the heat and weather. The airshow is set to finish about 5pm, and then all return to Palmerston North.

The Saturday evening is the official dinner being held in the Convention Centre. Sunday morning, it is back to Ohakea for a chapel service of remembrance, the biennial General Meeting and lunch in the Combined Ranks Mess, while relaxing before and after in the SGTs Mess bar area. The weekend is then complete and attendees are free to make their way home.

Pick up vehicles will be available for people arriving and departing from the airport, train and bus stations.
