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.

Six Halifax bombers with gliders in tow
spearheading the lord mayors show.
Horsa gliders, no going back
packed with men ready for attack.
Bridges on the Orne river and Caen canal
allied armies wanting free travel.
Ox and Bucks glider men
planned to free and hold for them.
The Germans took by surprise
not much time to agonise.
Just ten minutes then Pegasus fell
Major Schmidt would feel Hitler’s hell.
The consequences had Pegasus failed
Airborne forces cut off and circled.
Freedom of movement for German tanks
to the Ox and Bucks the world owes thanks.
