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........................................................................................
...like these? You could buy almost anything in them. The shopkeeper could be reasonably confident that the goods displayed outside would still be there at closing time if they hadn't been sold. Nowadays they'd probably be charged with obstructing the pavement.
The old Hardware shop Don, reminds me when I was a kid, my job was to take the two accumulators that the wireless used to run on to the Hardware shop and replace them for two charged ones. We had to do this because there was no electric in our cottage, but we did have gas mantle lighting. I used to get my pocket money for the Saturday pictures for that and other little chores I was designated, like cutting newspaper into little squares and hanging them on a a bit of string in the outside netty. Memories eh ?
A shop like that which went back generations sadly closed earlier this year. Tha cud gerrowt tha needed and the geezer wud even cut stuff ta size fer thi, saved a lot o fukkin about.
people would laugh now, but we had a kettle which was boiled on the fire range, remember me dad used to buy washers and rivet them on to the bottom when it used to get a hole.
Someone would trip over something, sue him and he'd go bankrupt, nowadays.
You're probably right Steve, that and the pavement by laws, combined with the large stores wanting a slice of, in fact all of, everybody's pie and these bastard out of town 'Malls' def killed the high street. Even the charity shops are closing in my Stadt.
