Publication:Sea Talk Autumn 2005/Navy Ticketing expands operations
By Suzanna Amerikow Manager, Special Projects (RANCCF)
Opera, shows like We Will Rock You and Dirty Dancing, dining, daredevil feats and other surprises! Ever wondered where you could get ALL of the above? Look no further; the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Fund (RANCCF) is here to assist all Navy members, Reserves and former serving members to obtain just that through - Navy Ticketing
Navy Ticketing is a sponsored initiative of the RANCCF which originated in Sydney through the voluntary work of a great lady called Carleen Angel.
For many years Ms Carleen Angel OAM has provided a service to Navy people in obtaining inexpensive tickets to theatre, film and occasionally sporting events. Events such as The Lion King; the Double Bill of the Decade, John Farnham & Tom Jones together in concert; pop goddess Cher and many more.
Carleen has well-established networks with all major and minor production companies and ticketing agencies in the Sydney region.
The building blocks laid by her are the foundation of continued growth and sustained provision of benefits to the naval community which the RANCCF aims to expand to meet the needs of today's wider navy community.
The Canteens Fund has also appointed some help for Carleen in the form of Cheryl Sayers who will be assisting Carleen to establish a larger footprint across Australia to help Navy people in other large cities.
Expanded service
"Now that we have gone national our booking service will certainly double, allowing families and their friends to take advantage of discounted tickets for every show including sports and Harbour cruises".
"Now that Cheryl has joined the booking office she can offer her support for families (Navy-Army-RAAF) whenever requested.
"This valuable service is one of a kind and every effort will be made to supply discounted tickets all over Australia".
All Navy personnel are invited to contact these Carleen or Cheryl to secure their tickets for most of the fabulous events that are currently on in Sydney.
