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.

Don't really know when it was taken Jim, but it would be before Feb 72 when the officers mess was bombed.

The building you indicated as the mess was in fact the Brigade Hq Don,the occifer's messes being off the picture to the left. I don't know when the pic would've been taken but I note the 'covered way' open ended hangar type struture that each barrack had covering the area behind the company offices isn't there. Don't know when these went up but were there in '82 when we moved there from Tidworth.

It was the new Oficers mess that was bombed Don? sorry I always assumed it was the old Corruna mess that was bombed, mate Jimmy Grant's wife was killed there
How many courses did you manage to do before you left Pat?
Too many Rab,the only ones useful to me out here were the ones done at the RE school Chatham. Carpentry/joinery,Bricklaying/Concreting,Signwriting,Plant operator. Then there were my licences up to HGV1. But the ability to plan,construct,and run ranges up to 120mm Wombat and Milan missile hasn't come in handy at all!
