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..................................................................................................................................
Cheers lads, Don, you have to apply online Through the Government website, which directs you to the Anniversaries Office at Buckingham Palace. You can as I did send an electronic copy of the original birth certificate, or a official copy from the records office, and they will send the Queens Birthday Card to the recipient after 0900 hrs on their birthday. They don't do telegrams any longer, The recipient also receives a registered letter from the Department of Work and Pensions, congratulating them on reaching the grand old age of 100 ! Be better if they chucked a £10.00 note in with it !
Over here the Irish government sends them a cheque for something like 2000 Euros on their 100th. A mate's father in law got it last year,then died just after his 101st! Doesn't matter if you were born north of the border,they still consider you Irish! Mind you he was born just before there was a border anyway,come to think of it!
You get a seniors card off the state government here when you reach, 60, I think, you can use it for discounts from all sorts of places. I noticed that when you reach 100 you get a special Platinum Card. Can't imagine what discounts you get with that, probably, skateboards, Bungie jumping, skydiving, that sort of thing.
I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.
On that type of subject in Wales, Scotland and London people over 60 can travel free on Buses and local trains etc but in England they have to wait to retirement age, also for years in Wales anyone had free prescriptions but in England you had to pay until a couple of years back they let the over 60's have them free.
It's not the dog in the fight,it's the fight in the dog that matters.
