With the loss of the facilities at our home ground of
Arborfield, the Reunion was relocated to the National Memorial Arboretum at
Alrewas in Staffordshire. Major
changes had to be made regarding the provision of accommodation for those
attending the event, but it was essential that the traditions of the
reunion, built up over many years, should be honoured. Thanks to the hard work of our committee
of volunteers, who put in many hours and much effort, the reunion could be
deemed a success by the majority of those attending. Just as the Arborfield event was honed
over a period of years, so will it be at Alrewas. This first one has laid down a marker. Unfortunately, my visit was curtailed by
the advance of years and nature, and so this year the story is told mainly
in photographs. If anybody would
like to add names or information, please contact The Editor. Please add the code number of the photo.

Friday, the gathering in.

The accommodation this year was at the Barcelo
Hinckley Island 4 star hotel, a far cry from the Spartan comfort of
Arborfield. No doubt the ladies
would appreciate the change of venue.
