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..................................................................................................................................
It's that time of year again where I ask you to look into old cupboards and rifle through your garages and lofts to find items that we can raffle or auction to add funds to the club.
The auction is now a tradition during the Saturday evening so please let me know of anything you can kindly offer.
I have changed the artwork on offer for auction to coincide with the 34th anniversary of 2 Para group blue beach2 landings on FI 21st May 1982
Original oil painting, A5ish size in frame, signed by KK2Para, copyright-DKBartoblivion(a one off, no prints etc)
expressive surrealism
"Beach master"
minimum reserve £30
about the artist: Kit Karson; BAFC member and forums participator. This particular artwork is based on 1st hand knowledge of the event depicted(although the beach master is an artistic inclusion)
Ok so I've changed the border to a more blue colour, alas not 2 DZ flash blue as it detracted from the artwork, thanks to Kev(and I mean it) I also gave the walrus eye glints in keeping with the moonlight( I remember it being a starlit night/ morn, whether there was a moon? Artistic licence invoked. Also a smudge of the walrus tusk was fixed(beauty of oils, takes ages to fully dry, downside it smudges)
Apologies for being a useless old git and forgetting to pack the painting... As next year is 35th Falklands I will resubmit into auction and hopefully it will raise Gud cash for the club... Thanks to all head sheds and all who made the weekend a brill experience as per SOPs
of course I will make a donation to club funds when my wallet has recovered as atonement for my howler
Useless twat is the phrase that springs to mind!Of course you were distracted by having to baby sit that dribbling,incontinent,tight fisted old bastard Pete,so mistakes are bound to happen!
