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.
...........................................................................................................................................................The 10 Miler will be held on w/e Saturday 23rd November 2024..................................................................................................................................
At the end of the First world war
Mankind swore
That there would be no more war
But over the last hundred years
There has been many tears
As war came again
Bringing heartache and pain
The war in the forty's
Turned naughty
When Germany and Japan
Fought hand in hand
Korea then Malaya and Aden
There was hardly a year when
The government sent our lads and lasses
To die on foreign grasses
From Kabul to Bagdad
The world has gone mad
To kill and maime
In some gods name
And thats why on a day in November
We all stand and remember
Those lads and lasses
Who died on foreign grasses.
It's not the dog in the fight,it's the fight in the dog that matters.
When the war was over,
and the fighting had been done
The people that were left alive
realised no one had won.
they said that we should learn from this
and teach our children well
So they wouldn’t make the same mistakes
and live through the same hell
But instead of showing them what was lost,
they told them what was gained,
they sang about the heroes,
but not the dead and maimed,
They let them watch the victory films
and sing the victory song
Then they watched their sons march off to war
and wondered what went wrong.

I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.
About sums it up. WWI and WWII? Combined they are probably the biggest human travesty in the history of the world. Russians alone. Then we wonder why they are paranoid. We ought to be paranoid.
