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.

Biggest mistake I made was a 75 BMW 530 i in 1982 and a 98 Jaguar xj8.in 2003 After 50 000 mile of local non Jag mechanics the Jag was dead faulty. In the end I sold it broke down for 1800 bucks just to get rid of it. It was beautiful as well. Black on black leather. Stunning car but it 500 dollared me to death. It had 106 000 miles on it when I told the bloke he needed to have it towed. "I think I will be alright," he said. He opted to drive it and fooked the engine up on the free way. Daft kunnt.
Being air cooled Rab it med a sound like a skeleton avin a wank in a bin.
Had a VW Beetle at Abingdon Dave used to get 8 lads in it to go down town for a wet, it spluttered and farted with smoke belching out of something at the back, totally reliable, I usd to dare it to break down. Got a vauxhall Astra, had it 7 years, never any problems, anything makes me move seats in the pub is if some prick starts talking about his 'drop head cam shaft dingleberger' not a f***in clue what the f**k they are talking about. Turn ignition key car starts = happy, turn ignition key car does not start = sad, as Mr McCawber may have said
Yep bugger unreliable cars. I am same as Wig. I just want to pump the smelly stuff in the hole on the side and turn the key and travel..... Other than sussing the water and oil I never lift the bonnet. I changed a starter motor once....with a lump hammer and bolster chisel...
'erm....

Owd Joe Vittoria erd on the grapevine that I wuz an apprentice mechanic befoor joining the Reg so asked me If I,d service iz Triumph Vitesse. Eee thought it wuz the beez kneez, but worra bag o shite that wuz, sounded like a VW Beetle wi no silencer fitted. Tappets wo that fukkin loose the fukkin thing sounded like a drop foorge!
I had a 71 saffron yellow Triumph TR6. Nice looking but had all the sophistication of a farm tractor. Plus I needed me own personal tow truck following me. Tell you what though Dave for all their mechanical detractions that Triumph 2000, Vitesse and Stag were lovely lookin' motors.
