The Unit's Queens Colour - featured in the Daily Mail

Congratulations to eagle -eyed Centarian Bill Hintze who saw this in yesterday's Daily Mail (18th May 2013)

Hi, Everyone,

I just was catching up on reading yesterday’s Daily Mail and was looking through the Queen’s Coronation Special magazine with the paper and as I got to Page 7 there was a photo of loads of people, as it said in the caption, “painstakingly hand-painting official flags and banners”.  Well, in the foreground there was the Unit’s very own Queen’s Colour part-way through completion; clearly seen in the centre decal is “Christ’s College CCF” surrounded by “Duke of Cambridge Own Middlesex Regt”.

I really couldn’t believe what I was seeing.   What a coincidence the Colour was photographed along with all the other Coronation flags etc.  I think it was taken at Edgington’s flag factory at Sidcup, Kent.

A Message from the Parents and Friends of Christ's College (PFA)

Dear Centarian,

The following message has been received from the Parents and friends Association of Christ's College. They have asked as to pass it on to CRA members in the hope that they will add their voice (at least digitally) to the cause.

As you may know the PFA has been trying to persuade Barnet Council to provide the school with the extra funding it urgently needs to fix its leaking roof. These leaks which occur throughout the school make many areas completely unusable after heavy rain and cause damage to walls, floors and ceilings. So far the Council have not offered any concrete support and seem to be suggesting that we must wait until the school can be rebuilt - this is at least 3 years away, if it happens at all. We have therefore decided to start a campaign to encourage Barnet to take our concerns seriously. We now have a PFA website which has details of school's problems and an online petition. This is very quick and simple to do. Please have a look at the website and sign up - and pass the link onto friends and family if you can. The more names we get on, the more likely it is that the Council will listen. The website address is:

Thank you.
