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.

It's not the dog in the fight,it's the fight in the dog that matters.
Pete,if they were the ones just below the main hospital they should still be there,as they were listed. They were built as flat packs to go out to The Crimea,but weren't used,and were later put up down there. Last seen being used as accom for nurses in the 90's,the insides having been modernised,but the outside remaining creosoted wood.

Think that's where the garrison families section and the Aldershot ACIO was in the 70's.
"We're surrounded on all sides... Good... you're obviously in the right place".

the pub or the war?
I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.
I didn't like to say anything Don. It's not the first time I've mixed the two hills up either,I'm sure whoever named them meant for Hospital Hill to go up to the hospital,not Gun Hill!
Remember the Spider well in the mid 50's, soldiers appeared and disappeared in those huts, national servicemen were know to complete their 2 years in the Spider just wandering around, I think that there was a large brick building within the lines, not sure what that was. SAS used it to transit to and from Malaya. CSM Smokey Furness was head boy when I was in there, a right bastard if ever there was one
