To the companies of the Croydon Battalion from the Halifax Battalion
"Over the Halifax Battalion have taken part in the 'inter-battalion athletics' competition which has been run by both Nottingham Battalion and Birmingham Battalion. For various reasons neither Battalion are able to carry on running the competition which our Battalion felt was a great shame.
We have decided to contact Battalions to find out how much interest there would be if we were to hold an 'inter-battalion athletics' competition ourselves. We had a short piece in the Gazette back in April and from that Northampton Battalion have voiced their support for such a competition.
We are writing to all Battalions with the hope that we will be able to get a reply from them to say if they would be interested in supporting such an event. We are hoping that all replies would be made by the beginning of October so that the event can be discussed at our Joint Council meeting.
I understand that all Battalions work in different ways and some may not have an opportunity to discuss this before the beginning of October but if you think that this is something you are interested in please let me know so that we can take any form of reply to our meeting and plan where to go next.
I look forward to hearing from you in the not too distant future.
Robert Batty
Company Section Secretary
Halifax Battalion"
If you have boys who might be interested in this competition, let me know please as soon as possible.
