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..................................................................................................................................
Update..doc just rang me and he's sending me for a guided injection into my spine. Evidently they inject a dye first so they can see exactly where to stick the needle. Hopefully it will calm back down for awhile. Meanwhile he's put me on waiting list for back op. Said it will take some time as, backs, knees hips etc are not considered urgent at the moment. Obviously, that decision was made by someone who hasn't got a fxcked back. Twat. Still, you've got to laugh. Well, you haven't got to but you may as well.
I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.

As a fellow sufferer mate, you have my sympathies. This getting old shit is...well shit.
"We're surrounded on all sides... Good... you're obviously in the right place".
We can only content ourselves with the thought that the only thing worse than getting old, is not living long enough to get old, mate. And, drink a lot.

Very true Steve.

Well I drank a lot over the last few days in Cambridge,at great expense as it's very near £5 a pint there,but was glad to find I hadn't lost the technique of lifting hand to gob after a dry 4 months or so! The back played up the last 2 nights,going into spasms at 3 in the morning,just hoping it was the bed or the weird chairs in the house we stayed in that were not my normal seating position. Don't want it to be yet another problem developing!

Seriously???? £5 a pint - I am so so sooooo old - I actually complained when the price went above 50p and my old man told me to grow up, he was upset when it went above thrupence a pint!! He blamed the decimal system - when they asked for sixpence a pint, he said that is more than a shilling!! But honestly Pat, I must be so out of it - we don’t get pint draft here in Angola but I don’t pay more than 30p for a bottle or tin of beer - I don’t smoke but the cigarettes are less that 50p for a pack of 20 - I recently had to by some for some doctors in quarantine - oxymoron or what... I just bought 2 bottles of decent wine today at about £3.50 a bottle - I am real close to retiring and I know that £5 a pint is not in the calculation......
I just don't understand why they won't shut the hell up while I practice my people skills....
Bit of excitement last night. Sitting watching telly about 8 o clock when I felt liquid running down my leg. Checked it out and found a leak in my urine bag. Not having a bike puncture kit, I stick a plaster on it but after a few minutes it started leaking again. Thought I better nip to the hospital and get it changed. Back is so bad I can't sit down so decided to do the 30 minute walk. By the time I got there trouser leg and sock are soaked in piss. Woman on the reception said a nurse will be down soon. Half hour later a nurse wanders in with a handful of bags and says help yourself, turns round and fxcks off. Went into a toilet and spent ages trying to find the right fit out of all the different bags. Staggered home, soaked in piss and back killing thinking, 'Ive had better nights,'

You'd have been better off with one of those taps they gave me Steve. Just turn it on whenever you want a piss,no bag to leak or drag around. Mind you it can be embarrassing when it comes off on the way to the shop in the car and you walk in soaked from the waist down,but they get used to it eventually!
