Associate Members can fill non-executive positions on the Committee. These members would only have voting rights if holding a committee position and only in relation to day-to-day matters.

Stand To Newsletter

STAND TO is your Association newsletter, unfortunately, due to costs involved in producing a quarterly Newsletter, there is a subscription cost to receive STAND TO (see pricing below).

Articles are from you, the members, is what makes this newsletter so inviting to read – so make sure you send in your service related stories to share with your mates!

“STAND TO” also keeps you updated with all Association, 6 RAR and other veteran related news and events.

To subscribe to receive “STAND TO” from June 2025 to June 2030 the prices are below – you will receive 4 copies per year until 5 June 2030.
