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.

Pat I can't believe what you are saying, what has happened to recruits doing the para course before being posted to a Battalion. I knew things were bad in the UK but Jesus Christ are they all going mad or what ????????????????????
Apparently,due to "Cuts",parachute courses are not part of basic training any more,but continuation training,to be carried out as and when courses become availlable.Due to aircraft availlability and operational commitments the wait seems to be getting longer and longer,and it won't be long before a 3 year man can serve his whole time without jumping.As Colin said,often a young tom will have done an operational tour with no wings,f.ckin' disgusting as it seems to me.Imagine doing all that training,and dying sans wings,how would you stand the slagging for all eternity in Valhalla??
It was "101 Club" at Abingdon for me, the WRAFs were fine and they certainly liked a bit of rough, but after eating that shit served up in Maida Bks, the grub was still the best for me.

AhAA - being the crow that I am - Browning Bks Grub was good enough so I obviously joined when they were feeding them not needing them!!! It was a good time to join if you ask me !!
I just don't understand why they won't shut the hell up while I practice my people skills....

its not the lads fault but its gonna be very hard to tell who's a walter in the future. a lad may have done P Company but to me you can't call yourself airborne untill you've actually done your jumps.
I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.

How the hell, can you have a Parachute Battalion where only so many members are qualified? what were the Commanders doing to allow this to happen. Looks like the nutters are in charge of the nut house (Parliament and the M.O.D.) Mind you historically the nutters have always been in charge.
