Will all members please note the costing for this years reunion will be £8 per person, which will comprise of £5 for buffet £2 for the charity and £1 towards the poppy wreath and flowers for Ann Taylor for covering the service at the NMA on the Sunday.
I am going to ask members for there suggestions this year as to which charity they wish the proceeds to go to, Doug Best will be doing the raffle for the charity of his choice so do the members going to the reunion wish to put the money in with Dougs or Help For Hero's, other suggestions that members can put forward will be appreciated.
I will be sending out Email to those on computers with my home address to send their cheques and phone those that do not have a computer, Can all members please let me have their cheques before the end of May, if anyone cannot attend please let me know before the end of May as after then their money will not be able to be refunded.

ReplyDeleteAlthough I can't make it this year please put me on the mailing list as I'd

I would like to suggest the charity RAINBOWS HOSPICE which is dedicated to the care of children with a life-limited illness
ReplyDeletemy view is that any money raised should go to a Military Charity we must support the brave lads
ReplyDeleteregards derek leese
I have been thinking of ideas to raise a bit more cash for the charity fund and i came up with the following.....if members who cant make the reunion this year would be kind enough to send a small donation to John Atkins it would help to boost the funds remember every little helps
ReplyDeletecome on you lads go for it
regards derek leese
Derek, I total agree with you that any money raised should go to a Military Charity.
ReplyDeleteAlso donations from members who are unable to attend,again I'm with you on that one to.
Regards Keith Shaw.
DEREK dont you think these children .are BRAVE?They have months or sometimes weeks to live.and they still have the biggest smiles,and are laughing all the time ,THAT IS BRAVE.
ReplyDeleteIf as Derek suggest, if any members not coming to the reunion wishes to support the charity please let me know and I will email my address to send their donation to.
