St Barbara's Day, Sunday 4th December 2022.
Fellow Gunners,
In the wake of the weather event in Auckland last month and the impact of Cyclone Gabriel, I am really conscious of the impact that this could have on our members.
For all of you who were affected in some way, our thoughts are with you.
The 2022 RNZA Association AGM was held on Saturday 12th November 2022 at The Richmond Club, Christchurch. Next year's 2023 AGM/Annual Reunion will be held in Wellington at Trentham Military Camp, on a weekend yet to determined in October or November 2023.
Many thanks to Lt Col (Ret’d) Steve Newman RNZA for his very generous permission to post his 1988 book “Vietnam Gunners” on our RNZA Association Website.

Fellow Gunners,
Greetings Fellow Gunners. It is with great sadness that we record the passing of Brigadier (Rtd) Ray Andrews CBE, on Tuesday 29th March. Brigadier Andrews served as the Colonel Commandant of the Regiment and was a Life Member of the Association.
This morning Danny and Bernie McCort helped celebrate the 100th birthday of WW2 NZ Artillery gunner Sgt Cyril Hart at his Rotorua rest home, and presented Cyril with a certificate of Appreciation and Congratulations from the Col Comdt, RNZA, and the President of The RNZA Association.
Hello fellow Gunners.
The association has been sent a newsletter from the Royal Australian Artillery Association of Western Australia, which is at the link below.
Interesting that they celebrated Gunners day in November, not May.
The 2021 association AGM was held on Saturday 30th OCtober 2021, as a virtual/online meeting using "Zoom". Next year's 2022 AGM/Annual Reunion will be held in Christchurch, on the weekend of 11-13 November 2022.
It is with great sadness that I need to inform you of the passing of Brig (Rtd) Geof Hitchings, CBE. I received the following family Death Notice from Col (Rtd) Rob Hitchings, former CO 16 Fd Regt, this morning:
Dear RNZA Association members.
The RNZAA committee has been monitoring the current COVID-19 levels across NZ in the knowledge that Trentham Camp can only host our AGM weekend if Wellington is at COVID-19 Alert Level 1.
