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.

Couldn't find me No2's so this'll have to do!Had to go for early as they've got barriers round the memorial with cops due tomorrow to stop 'crowds',so stopped on the way to the Indian across the road,hockled myself over the barrier with my faithful photographer and Bob's yer father's bro'!

Two spits on them Pat , you done good mate , feeling all rememberey they ought to have had that " Brothers in arms " on a sound system for you , I remember an ABF day after 82 and every boozer was belting it out , always seemed such a fitting song for you Falklands boys .
Hadn't realised just how filthy me boots were till now,but keeping up Gungy 3 traditions! (A combination of chicken shit and cement dust or camouflage as we used to call it!)

Perfectly good uniform. Never liked wearing No 2's. Probably the memories of having to look immaculate in No 2's every Sunday in Colly before marching off to church, where at least i got a bit of sleep.

Although we cannot stand on parade at the Commando Gunner Memorial today, we can come together in silence to honour the bravery and sacrifice of the...
We have wreathe being laid all round the country and abroad. This one's in Lochwinnoch, being laid by Donna Armstrong who does a lot of work for the AB community and our own Davie Howie. You, may want to turn the sound down a bit, the pigskin piano's playing.
