Having taken into account the current COVID restrictions that currently apply in the different parts of the UK, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 reunion.
The Chairman Nick Butler will be heading up the Fan at 0930 hrs on Saturday the 15th May and he will lay a BAFC wreath on behalf of the Club at the summit.
He will also toast The Fallen.
If other members wish to make their own pilgrimage up the Fan at their own risk please follow the relevant COVID restrictions that will be in place.
As a Club we are not able to accept liability for members safety and well being over the weekend of 14/15 May. Our Clubs insurance that normally covers Fandance will not operate this year.
Update to follow reference Aldershot 10 Miler on the 20th November 2021.

That time o the year again ta av a scrub, get tarted up n gu n pay me respects.
Marks n Sparks will bi gerrin sick o me tekkin the clobber back fer a refund on the Monday after Remembrance day, but after tekkin the Staffies with us into the battlecruiser fer a few bags crisps each while,st we enjoy some liquid refreshhment, fingers crossed there won,t bi any beer stains forrem ta detect.
Cheers lads. Yes Ian, Beret Bow all sewn on correctly, just a pity that after me visit up ta Marks n Sparks today, hopefully all I,ll own is Beret, shirt,tie, socks n shoes. Fingers crossed there aint no weddings, funerals or parades coming up in the near future and gives enuff time fer a Marks n Sparks staff turnover.
Good old M&S got my blazer from there, find the old quality on some of their stuff has gone down hill since they changed from the old St Michael label. Used to to buy tee shirts from there that lasted for years and held their shape. Don't last a few weeks now and their knackered ! I reckon it's due to stuff being made abroad, not as good as the old British Made stuff.
Thaz reight theer Bob. Their stuff used ta bi gud, made in Britain at the many S & R Gent factories. Stupid twats closed em all down mekkin thousands jobless, then ad crap stuff made in split link land, thiz no fukkin wonder they,re struggling, serves em fukkin reight!
The way things are going with M&S now Dave, their talking of closing a lot of the home and clothing shops and just going down the foodstuff route. Can't understand why they don't go back to the British made kit, and create more jobs in this Country and get rid of Foriegn designers, who's designs no bugger wants. Just sounds common sense to me, but it's not me they have to convince !
They still do some hard wearing stuff,by 'Blue Harbour',but it's expensive,so I only go in once a year,when the gun club gives out 50 quid vouchers for prizes.That usually gets me a couple of polo shirts or something.They can stuff their overpriced food where the sun don't shine!I looked at those meal deals for a tenner for two with a bottle of wine thrown in that you see on the telly,and it would take 2 to fill you,and the 'bottle' of wine holds about a thimbleful!
Wardrobes, and drawers.
Silent reminders ......
The bling, and paraphernalia, of war....
To lie and gather dust, for yet, another year.
Lest in the meantime, yet another, comrade disappears.
One who'd survived, the bullet and bombs.
Having now succumbed, to the ravage of disease.
Or
Just plain.... old age.
On cold, wet, oft windy days.
Brothers gather
Numbers growing smaller each year.
His name to be added, to a never endless wall.
Heads, hung in remembrance.
