The
RLC
Association
has
had
a
long
term
objective
of
“
Bringing
together
more
closely
the
Associations
of
The
RLC
and
its
Forming
Corps.
Extending
membership
of
branches
to
include
young
soldiers
of
the
new
Corps
with
veterans
of
the
Forming
Corps”
.
As
a
way
of
working
towards
achieving
this
aim
the
RLC
has
set
up
a
Unit
Twinning
program;
twinning
the
forming
Corps
Associations
with
appropriate
units
of
The
RLC.
As
a
result
the
Army
Catering
Corps
Association has been paired with 167 Catering Support Regiment RLC.
This
could
not
be
more
appropriate
as
167
CSR
RLC
is
the
successor
unit
to
the
Central
Volunteer
Headquarters
ACC,
which
was
formed
in
November
1975;
under
the
command
of
Colonel
Robin
Maddy;
first
in
St
Omer
Barracks
then
moving to Clayton Barracks in the early 80’s.
Based
in
Grantham,
Lincolnshire,
167
CSR
is
a
unit
of
the
Reserve
Army
and
has
an
almost
identical
role
as
that
of
its
predecessor
CVHQ.
Its
Mission
Statement
reads
“Provide
trained
Reserve
Chefs
able
to
fully
integrate
into
any
Army
Formation
in
order
to
deliver
world
class
catering
support
to
deployed
forces
within
the
required
readiness.
The
Regiment
will
also
support
the
Army
by
training
and
preparing
all
Reservist
Chefs
to
the
required
trade
employment
standards”.
Reserve
RLC
Chefs
support
exercises
and
operations
on
deployment
both
as
reserve
units
and
by
attachment
to
regular
units.
Since
their
founding
in
1975
chefs
of
TA/Reserve
have
served
in
every
operational
theatre
from
Northern
Ireland,
the
Falklands,
and
Bosnia
and
in
recent
times
have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The
Association’s
Executive
Council
is
investigating
new
opportunities
for
members
and
prospective
members
to
benefit
from
twinning.
You
will
be
kept informed in future Newsletters and via the Association’s website.
The ACC Association is Twinned with 167 CSR RLC
