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..................................................................................................................................
Just to let you know that sadly, Len Hoare, one of our last Arnhem vets, passed away on 5th June.
I've just been informed that his funeral will take place at Vinters Park Crematorium Maidstone Kent on Friday 20th June at 10.30am. Our branch will turn out to see him off and you are of course most welcome to join us if you can make it.
Len was in the Mortar platoon of A company, 2nd Battalion and was dug in near the ramp of Arnhem Bridge. He was wounded and captured later.
Please pass this on to all Para Regt members lets give him a good send off. Please put this on your walls
Best wishes. Rest in Peace Len
