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.

I just love them old buildings Tony.
Quite a few years ago I was at Headley Court when it was under the RAF, which is now the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, near Leatherhead.
Anyway at the time (in the old house bit) floor boards in the main dinning room next to the skirting boards, had to be lifted for maintenance.
5 gold coins / sovereigns were found, probably lost over the years.
It was a well known haunt of Cromwell.

Beautiful owd building that Tone,full of history and who knows what could be hidden within its fabric,but the biggest problem is the powers that be would rather them stay hidden than some thick uncouth c.nt like me come along with me hurdy gurdy and find what they can,t be arsed to look for.
Academics hate metal detectorists with a f.ckin passion,cos in their eyes,"how dare these plebs come along and unearth history when we superior creatures have been educated to the highest level in order to be experts!"
What they should realise is that as we normal beings know,theory and practice are worlds apart. You can learn all you want from books,manuscripts or whatever,but ya aint gonna find f.ck all sat on yer ring piece.
