I have fantastic memories of GUT in the late 80's, with all those paid camping holidays.

Two anecdotes on Christmas Draws:
1. In the Officers Mess, with a massive sum of money as the first prize, the Padre was selected as an honest man to pull out the winning ticket. He pulls out his own . . . . . . . .
2. In the Sgts Mess, the top prize is a car. The draw commitee decides to speed things up on the night by drawing tickets beforehand and putting them in envelopes to be opened later. The final envelope is opened to reveal . . . . 2 tickets. Neither ticket holder would compromise and in the end the Sgts Mess had to provide each one with a car.
