May I take this opportunity to thank everyone that came to the reunion on Saturday night and to the NMA on the Sunday, my thanks also go to Denis and Derek for all the help during the year that they gave me which made my job a lot easier, it was a pleasure for me to be able to organise the reunion and It will also be again to do it for next year that is if I am not being presumptious and thinking that there is no one that would like to take it on ???. I hope that those that were at the reunion that hope to be joining next year have booked their room for the 16th June 2012 and if so can they let me know so that I can start the list all over again. my thanks also go to Doug for the excellent result he got from the raffle that he did on the Saturday night, not forgetting his assistant Joan for all that she did in helping Doug, well done to the both of you. It was also a pleasure to welcome our guest Capt Peter Thellusson to the reunion this year, he has asked me to thank you all for making him most welcome. I have today posted a cheque for £280 to Doug to add to that which was raised on Saturday for the charity that he chose.

ReplyDeleteMy last message was for trooper847, with regards to the date, you are ok with yours. there seems to be a lot of John's on the site that is why we ask for full names on the postings.

I have been asked by Ian Taylor from the North Staffs Branch to inform all those that were at the service on the 19th that the total amount collected for the NMA was £213-14.

Sorry John, Yes I do mean 2012

To all members that donated (IN THE BUCKETS) the money raised goes to the Royal British Legion funds for the upkeep of the NMA not just the Blues and Royals site,so if there is roughly 213 plots we would get 1£s worth of work!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was very misleading as many of you were in the mind that it went just to the upkeep of our plot.
Brian thanks for that we will know better next time
