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.

You forgot Chains and poles and Firkins. I still think in Imperial too Dave, but can work metric when required.
"We're surrounded on all sides... Good... you're obviously in the right place".
I only know wot I know Don, cos in the "olden days", the imperial tables were printed on the back of the owd exercise books. Never took much notice of me teachers apart from History and PT. Only two subjects that held any interest for me, so in an average class size of 35 pupils, after exams I usually averaged about 20th position, but allus top at history and physical jerks.
Maths only meant owt to me when I started work and ad ta mek sure me wages, £2-10s were reight, and ofcourse at Depot with the owd map reading.
Here ya go Don, hope this helps. [ATTACH=CONFIG]7058[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]7059[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]7060[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]7061[/ATTACH]
Nice one Dave, I realise they had a lot of silver up your way.
By the way, managed to get hold of a 1960's OS cloth map of our area, and I was right.
Now days they don't show the roman and other antiquities on maps as they did then.
