 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards



St George's Day, Sat 23rd April 2005

St George's Day is a day celebrated by the Coldstream Guards no matter where we are stationed.  The Rear Party celebrated the event on Fri 22nd with a low key event with a 'few tinnies and a roast beef butty', together with a showing of 'King Arthur', with interval quotations from Winston Churchill.  Many guests were invited to the event and it was an ideal time for the Rear Party to 'let their hair down' before mounting their next (of many) 48hr guard.

The Welfare Office organised the major event on Saturday 23rd April, featuring a pageant, a children's meal and children's entertainment.  The day was organised with children in mind and was a great success.

The pageant starred;

LSgt 'Barney' Courage as the Dragon
LSgt 'Ian' Scholan as the Damsel in Distress
and St George played by Gdsm 'Shaun' Crapper.

Everyone enjoyed the pageant, but children were a little frightened by the dragon (that was before Barney put the costume head on), but the pageant finished off as usual with a glorious triumph of St George over the dragon.  Children were then invited downstairs into the Restaurant were a meal was laid on for all of them.  After that it was back upstairs for entertainment.

All in all, the first of many organised events for families left behind in Aldershot - with many more to come!!
