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.

Remember one of the lads cut them out and pinned them to the wall in APC Belize, that many the wall was almost armour plated.
Not sure how many different ones there were but he had a lot of his'favourites repeated.

You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life."
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965)
who remembers these and are they still in the stores
got to be honest the last time I saw these on the old Tennents tins was when we were in Libya in 1968, no doubt they went on for a long time after that. But no doubt it was the political correct brigade that finally put a stop to it, Bastards !

Tone the Tennants tasted good mate, but the Grader they dropped to level out the airstrip didn't turn out so good. Despite shock struts and airbags, all the hydraulics burst on impact, what a feckin mess, but it was one big heavy feck off machine so nobody was to surprised at the result. However didn't take long to put it right and get the job done !
Bob.....They actually parachuted in a grader ?
Did you do that airstrip at Al Mansoura where that Argosy with the 7 RHA blokes and their guns, piled in ?
If you did it had big fookin' lumps in it

Tone, they did mate that and some other heavy plant like bulldozers D6, and stuff, that was to maintain the airstrip. I didn't actually work on the strip myself it was the Plant lads, who sorted that lot out. But when they dropped that kit there was hydraulic fluid from arsehole to breakfast time, the pipes just couldn't stand the pressure !
Don , I think if it had been low level mate, it probably wouldn't have sustained the damage it did ! Just pleased I wasn't sitting on the bugger when it came in.
LLAPES (Low Level Automatic Parachute Extraction System).They used to do one of these every year as the grand finale for the Larkhill artillery day,once they stopped firing the Honest John,about '74.
A school teacher asked her students to make a sentence containing the expression “I presume”.
One little girl held up her hand and said: “Yesterday my mother hand washed the dinner dishes and I presumed that the dishwasher was broken.”
“Very good” said the teacher.
Another one said: “This morning, my father drove the Volkswagen out of the garage. I presume that the BMW wouldn't start.”
“That’s excellent” says the teacher.
Little Johnny at the back of the classroom gets up and says: “Yesterday I saw grandpa leave the house with a newspaper under his arm and headed for the bush, I presume that....... ”The teacher interrupted him and said, “I stopped you because you have no idea what your grandfather was going to do, so you can’t presume anything.
”Johnny says, “Please Teacher, let me finish my sentence.”
The teacher says, “Very well. Continue.”
“As I was saying, I saw my grandpa heading for the bush with a newspaper under his arm. I presume he was going for a shit because he can’t read.”
