and Mr M A Shillabeer RVM that they be elected. The proposal was carried. 6. Any other Business SCpl Flynn suggested that The Blues and Royals Association and The Life Guards Association should be merged into a Household Cavalry Association. The Chairman thanked SCpl Flynn for the interesting suggestion; which had certainly some merit now both Regiments had
merged. Steps had been taken to merge the two Serving Officers’ Trusts. There are legal complications which can be overcome but there are other problems not least that the ex-serving members of both Associations will have to give their consent. The Chairman understood from SCpl Flynn that the serving members of the Association would be in favour of a merger.
