Ladies & Gentlemen
I've been invited to be VICE at a formal RAuxAF Sqdn Dinner this weekend. I have no "previous," & this partially account for my selection. I am pleased but now feel a bit vulnerable & do not want to screw up.
I believe I have to propose toast to the Soveriegn amongst other duties. I will have trusty colleagues nearby but would like to have 'the inside track from those, who know. I'm niave but not completely daft. I welcome any advice with gratitude. I'll trust all but will suspect any suggestions for outrageous actions are mischief.
PS: I just witnessed the start of the Olympic torch in Brighton. As a cynical git I was surprised how good it was & hope the spectacle is a success. Here's hoping those of you dragooned into su[pport roles have a great time too.
