Terry/Derek I don't know what the problem is, I'm allowed to sign in and out but it won't allow me to reply to any questions. It keeps on telling me to apply for membership, when I do this it tells me that my e-mail address is already being used. With reference to Dereks question it is not good news. Accommodation is the big problem, The hotels all require numbers, would we require food, entertainment,etc. Then depending on our requirements, a none refundable deposit would be required. The numbers I have are not guaranteed except for the regular members of our site. A lot of ex Royals who have said they would attend but are not contactable. I am now of the opinion I have taken on more than I can chew. I hate to admit it and I am sure That there are those who will agree with with my conclusion (The Silent Few). My solution to the Problem would be Date,Venue and individual booking. Sorry Guy's You supported a Bummer and I apologise for letting you down John PS Please put this on the site as it is only right that all member should be aware of my failings, also pass it on by word of mouth to those who do not have Pc's -------Original Message-------From: Terence Sussex
I would like to make a comment in John's defence. The job he undertook to organise the Royals reunion for 2009 is a huge one, especially when it involves such a huge event, geographically speaking. One person alone, regardless of how experienced and enthusiastic about such an event it is a mamoth job for one single person. As is the nature of human beings, 1. there are those who make a lot of noise then, 2. those who sit back and wait for someone else to do it all, and 3. those what I call 'swinging voters' who agree with everyone, don't really have ideas or views of their own but agree with everyone's ideas and views and hope that they won't have to 'physically' contribute in any way. I don't know how much assistance John received from anyone but from my observation of what I read on the BB regarding the reunion, a lot of noise was made, everyone thought it a good idea (which it is) but then interest was lost due to personal opinions and feelings and before you knew it John was left holding the bag and left to do everything on his own, instead of helping him co-ordinate things that need to be done. My belief is that if people are willing to 'contribute' a little of their time and help 'co-ordinate' a small part from their end of the country that would be a great help for John, because as I see it now he does not have definite numbers of attendees, arranging venue, accommodation, catering, entertainment etc has been left up to him as well as overseas attendees numbers. An event will only work if people will make it work by putting personal differences aside and looking at the main focus and in this case a Royal Reunion and not at what their qualifications and skills are personally. The success of organising an event comes from 'contributions' made from co-ordinators and wanting it to be a success and not from people working against someone who is trying to do 10 men's jobs. So I say, pull together and help John! That is if you all really want this reunion to take place or is it just all noise! My suggestions are: 1. A person to coordinate attendees from each of the respective countries (one or 2 in UK, 1 in Australia etc) and get names and numbers to John. 2. A couple of people to approach hotels etc where the event will be held, meet face to face preferably and discuss what the event is, have some idea on numbers (this is where the coordinators organising attendees should supply even if a rough idea) You will find that most people will let you know if the date is during their peek season or slack season etc. One person cannot do it alone and once these things are coordinated to keep John informed of what is happening so he can see the progress. Many hands make light work! I apologize if this sounds a bit harsh but I can see where John is coming from and his disappointment. John, you have not failed it is the lack of assistance you have received so far. As with a lot of things in situations like this, probably even a little 'undermining'....but I hope this is not the case! Jenny Bob
I have a confession to make.I am one of those who prefer to sit back and let those who know what they are doing,get on with it. Obviously because of the distance and time difference I cant do much to assist but having read the posting re efforts made so far I would like to suggest that each individual member make a serious effort to do most of the work themselves rather than one or a few to do everything. May I suggest that a re-union of Royals be held in conjunction with the HCR dinner and Sunday service in Hyde Park. Perhaps a room at the union Jack Club can be booked for Friday night and a dinner arranged or, rather than going to Knightsbridge after the Sunday March we can return to the club for Lunch. A cut of date can be given for deposits to secure the room and accomodation and those who change their minds or fail to turn up will loose their deposits. Only a suggestion but its not impossible. It may be the only chance you will get before we leave this planet to meet up with each other.
Good idear PG but most of are members are in the Midlands and would not be fit to travel to London,, thats why we need a reunion near the NMA.. REGARDS DEREK
jENNY YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD..PITY WE ARE NOT A FEW YEARS YOUNGER... IM 79 YEARS OLD SOON AND CANT TRAVEL ALL THAT FAR THESE DAYS..COME ON YOU YOUNGER GUYS LETS SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE DEREK
If all else fails,what about having a social evening once again at the same venue as last time. I have not received ANY feedback at all about any sugestions about the 2009 meet narry a word. Dates; March the ? when we lowered our Standard and merged with the Blues,Waterloo day?just a couple of ideas.Bri.
Are there any reasonable priced hotels in Brum.,? very central. We need not have to have a big "POSH" do just a good gathering of the "FAMILY" all exRoyals with spouses a MUST,this is me saying this NOT THE BOSS. Bri.
Brian im up for a meet-up same as last year i thnk it should be in JUNE and a service at the NMA on the SUNDAY.I dont think a meet-up in BRUM would work out DEREK
Brian i think we should forget BRUM. i would like to attend the NMA AND FLY THE ROYALS FLAG MAYBE FOR THE LAST TIME BEFORE PUTTING IT IN MOTH BALLS derek
I DID"NT ATTEND THE LAST MEET BUT IF IT WAS A SUCCESS WHY NOT DO THE SAME AGAIN, AND IF ANYONE CAN PUT OUT POINTERS FOR HOTEL B/B IT SHOULD"NT BE TO DIFFICULT FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO ATTEND, SO AS NOT TO BURDEN ANY ONE PERSON WITH DOING IT.
DENIS well that will be fine by me, how about all you other members..if we can agree on the date.maybe we can get couple of the lads in the Midlands to sort out a venue.could be same Hotel as last year or something like the TRAVEL LODGE I UNDERSTAND THAT IS A CHEAP BB derek
As the proposed venue-the NMA -is too far for me to go on my own I have already made tentative arrangements with family member to get me there, so I hope that will be the location chosen. As to accommodation, surely there is one younger member who would take on the task of organising it preferably all in the same Hotel. Paddy
Paddy nice to see you are going to make it.i have been told that the TRAVEL HOTEL is very good and should meet all members pockets.the hotel last year was very good but expensive..just hope now for a couple of the lads who are going to the NMA in NOVEMBER to suss it out and let us all know DEREK
Hi Derek I feel comfordable with your suggestion also Doug's Waterloo Day. Travel Lodges don't have the same facilities that the Premier Inn has ie Facilities Room where we can all get together, when we were up there they said they would make it availible for us. I know it was a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for. What do you think? John M
jOHN I CANT AGREE MORE IT WAS A GOOD PLACE TO STAY AND COULD NOT BE FAULTED, I MENTIONED THE TRAVEL LODGE AS IT MAY SUITE SOME MEMBERS POCKET BETTER AND IT NOT FAR AWAY. I WILL SEE WHAT COMMENTS WE GET FROM OTHER MEMBERS. I WILL BE GOING EVEN IF I GET A DONKEY AND CART REGARDS DEREK
DENIS THE DATES SHOULD READ SATURDAY/SUNDAY 20th/21st JUNE NOT 19/20th.19th FALLS ON A FRIDAY. I THINK WE WILL SETTLE FOR SAME AS LAST YEAR..MEETING UP AT THE PREMIER INN FROM MIDAY ON PREMIER INN FINE LANE FRADLEY LICHFIELD STAFFS WS13 8RD THEY HAVE 30 ROOMS SO I SUGGEST YOU BOOK EARLY.. I WILL BOOK MY ROOM ON MONDAY REMEMBER YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY NOW, YOU PAY ON ARRIVAL OR SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE YOU LEAVE.. REGARDS DEREK
Derek, Booked a double room for three nights 19-21st. Cost 186 pounds. Costed two nights 20/21st. Cost 210 pounds. Glad we settled for June.( Do not fancy the U.K. in March.) We can fit it into a holiday. alex (kev) p.s. No "Formal". I haven't even got a suit!
Hi All, I have pre booked the Facilities Room in the Resturant/Pub attatched next door to the Premier Inn for Saturday 20th June 2009 the cost of the room will be £75 to be split between us. If a sit down meal is required they can accomodate about 50 if it is a buffet 60+, of course this would add to the cost. Please let me know if this is ok and if you and your partner will be attending. The Fradley Arms will be contacting me early next year to firm the booking and arrange our reqirements. John M
Well done John if need be i will throw in 20 quid towards the cost of the room..looks like things are picking up. all we need now is to find out how many ex Royals will be going.. derek
I am so glad to read this and that something is being done. There have been some good suggestions and comments from various people. I liked PG's suggestion of everyone making their own booking....now why didn't I think of it???? I am really glad that this topic is moving along in a very positive direction and I wish you all the very best on the day....only wish I could join you all. Now, I have something to say to the Aussie boys here, please take Kevin Alexander's lead and let your intention attending the reunion be known if you will be attending or not and if you have booked your accommodation. It makes it a lot easier for the organisers of the event to know the number of attendees. Oh Kev, maybe it's time you got a suit, you know just because you are retired now is no excuse for no suit.....lol....if only you could fit into one of my suits I'd leand it to you willingly....lol. Why not wear your Royals T-shirt? Jenny Bob
Just back from Blackpool,GREAT weekend,Glad I stareted something off b4 I went ,Sounds good to me will also book in ASAP,once iIget my DHOBI sorted. Another date to SAVE UP for is September 2017!!the 5Th anniversary of out kicking out of ADEN,we are now trying to organise it even at this early stage as we HOPE to get the GUIDHALL with a memember of the ROYALTY there!!,and as HRH etal, have a working diary of at least three years in advance you can see the amount of coercing needed.Will keep you posted on this one. Bri.
Jenny, Re. buying a suit. I'd only wear it to funerals (Including ,in the end Mine!) Stop salivating PG. What's with Qld. Formal. T shirt shorts and thongs? Seriously though ,I have my Blazer and Trousers. So will not let you down. kev
Now that we have decided a date and venue,PLEASE `phone all the Royals you know and tell them about it,as there are a hell mof a lot not using PCs. Bri.
Brian i sure hope members will pass this around to all ROYALS NOT ON THE BB..WHAT ABOUT THE SERVICE ON THE SUNDAY WILL YOU AND YOUR PADRE CONDUCT IT ??????????????? DEREK
PADDY they will take credit cards but not debit cards as they dont take tour money till you arrive and book in.they do as a norm take your money on the Sunday before you book out....derek
Will be able to sort that out at a later date as ANN.our Chaplain is still in full time work,but should be having a new Vicar at the church so she may be able to do it. Bri No worries.
Hi John, Have booked myself and Pauline into the Premier Inn for Sat the 20th Jun, what ever you do regards the weekend meals Ect inclued Pauline and I thanks Ray Brown Look forward to seeing you all again.
