ABOUT US
Officially Formed on February 6 2001, The West Australian University Regiment Association Inc. is for anyone who spent time serving with WAUR. All former and serving WAUR soldiers are eligible to join the association regardless of rank, sex, age or length of service. Associate membership is available to anyone who can show a genuine affiliation with the regiment. The objects of your Association are to:
Foster an interest in the history and traditions of the Unit. Provide a forum for former and serving members of the Unit to maintain contact. Conduct social functions to enable former and serving members of the Unit to meet.
Apart from several ongoing history projects (which you are very welcome to get involved in), your Association conducts various social functions and issues a quarterly newsletter. Clearly, the success or failure of Association functions, and the degree to which we are able to achieve our objects will depend on you - the bottom line is that the Association will be as good as we the members want to make it! The committee welcomes your feedback on all matters to do with the Association. Please don't hesitate to contact any of us with your ideas, offers of help, suggestions or criticisms. Although your Association is bound by its constitution, we aim to make its day to day operations as informal and friendly as possible.

Committee


Name: Shaun Chapman Also known as: Chook
Enlisted in WAUR in October 1982, Recruits at Tone River Jan 83 followed by IET and AET and numerous annual camps - followed WAUR from Mounts Bay Rd to Karrakatta then Leeuwin and Artillery Barracks discharging in April 1992 as LCPL. Highs: So Many! - 2 Weeks IET under hoochies at Bindoon, AET at Northam, the Nannup camps, The Sub 2 Northam Beach Party (or was it Toga?), Going feral at Lancelin Leopard using Mogs as APC's and discovering a MX82 500lb UXB, The Nannup camps, K89 & Skippy's revenge at Exmouth. The mix of absolute full on seriousness when training as opposed to the absolute full on bad behaviour when in the mess are the stand out impressions. Lows: Watching the unit go from a strength of over 600 soldiers to less then 100

Name: Michael Jenkin Also known as: Jenks
Enlisted in WAUR in Feb 1983, Recruits at Northam May 83 followed by IET and AET and numerous annual camps - discharged in the late 1980's (can't recall the exact date) as LCPL. I had a fantastic time with WAUR on activities too numerous to mention. The main thing I took away from that time was a host of good mates and fun times. That is why I was keen to get an Association off the ground.

Name: John Kargotich Also known as: Kargo
Recruits at Tone River Jan 83 followed by IET and AET and numerous annual camps - discharged in the late 1980's (can't recall the exact date) as LCPL and joined the Naval Reserve. Life is amazingly busy - Having left the family dairy farm to work for the Department of Defence I am now leading the "normal life" and enjoying it. I have fond memories of WAUR and enjoy catching up with my fellow WAURiors.
