Red Deer Royals Down Under

We arrived in Newcastle to a warm welcome from the Koalas, who billeted with us last year. Shortly after we arrived, we were invited to be part of "Winter Heat" which is a regular event for residents of this city. Our Board members and Drum Malors were part of a reception with the Lord Mayor of Newcastle. There was an impressive candle lighting ceremony, during which the Royals performed and wowed the crowd. The Koalas have been fabulous hosts and the community in general has been polite, enthusiastic and delighted to support our kids.
