Death: Greg McManus
Ron Pilborough advises, with regret, the death of Greg McManus on 24 August 2011 in Aukland, New Zealand. Although Greg was not a former member of the BSA Police (he was in fact a member of the Northern Rhodesia Police), he did serve for many years as the Hon Secretary and Treasurer of the New Zealand Branch of the Regimental Association, of which he was an Associate Member. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy.

Functions

Date	Function	Venue
May	Annual General Meeting	Silverdale RSA
November	Christmas Luncheon	Silverdale RSA

The Branch holds two functions annually, the first being the Annual General Meeting in May and the second the Christmas Luncheon at the end of November. For many years, both of these functions have been held at the Silverdale RSA just north of Auckland and are well supported considering this is a small Branch. On occasion branch members are hosted by committee members in Cambridge which affords the opportunity for those "out of town" members to enjoy good BSAP company.
