Inside the Summer 2006 edition:

If you want to find out about issues affecting Army families around the world then you need to read the AFJ! 

It’s been a very busy few months since the last edition – especially as all the staff at Central Office, in addition to their normal work, have been working extra hard to make sure that the AFF Families’ Conference in London this year is the best one ever. AFF staff worldwide have also been pulling out all the stops with a very active publicity campaign to try and encourage as many families as possible to attend - look out for an in-depth report on the event in the next edition of the AFJ!

 

The AFF Families’ Journal reflects the diverse community to which we all belong and is packed with useful news and information for Army families. I hope you really enjoy this new look edition of the AFJ.

 

The Summer AFJ should reach all Units by mid June for delivery to their families. If you don’t receive your free copy, ask your unit where it is, and let us know on 01980 615518 or email info@familiesjournal.org.uk
