Bob

:( :cry: Over a year since he tragically left us , I can't believe I missed the news at the time, or since. Perhaps it's because I don't visit the Obituarys site very often. I don't remember it mentioned at the last Reunion. He was a Great Guy, full of fun and liked by everyone. He was a good friend ...

Sigs/Clerks Meeting 2004

:( Calling all old and new SQ members.
Our Bi-annual meeting at CTC is in jeopardy. Go to " Reunions" site to see comments and enter your opinion. Time is running short for a decision from Pusser.
PS. Have any other SQ's had this problem?

Watch it Parnell (Val)! Trans what? Your "Golden Locks" will surely attract more attention than my bald head.
Rogue Chef, Where did you get this Di Pole from. Ive checked what I've sent and it doesn't occur. Maybe steam on your glasses after 5 years as a chef. Try cleaning them! And then you were a ...

Sigs Reunion 2004

Thankyou Nomad, :D
I'm sure you more than anybody can achieve something and find a window in CTC's programme to accomodate us and we old fogies aren't beyond doing-it-ourselves (Running a Bar, putting up a tent or a volleyball net). For the rest, if it means we have to pay more, then so be it.
Good ...

Well Done Gonker. :D It's nice to see you on this site. TA non-combatent doesn't matter. You're still one of us and welcome.
If you are still in the TA 'YOUR TIME MAY COME'
With Government military funding as it is we may even see ex servicemen in their 60's being called up. :cry:

In answer to Joe, Oakers and Twenty One.
Yes we are a separate Force from the Army, just like the Paras like to think they are. But both are reliant on Naval or Army budgets. Army Units have been disbanded or amalgamated, Ships have been mothballed or sold, UK and abroad bases closed. It's all down ...

Sigs Re-unions

Thanks TROG. :D
I'm old enough to have done my S3's at Eastney, do a tour with 42 in Singers and return there to run the Battery shop while the Dreaded Alex Higson was the Adjutant. But it is no more. My Battery shop is now a Wimpey home and just the Ex Officers Mess (Museum) remains.
Lympstone is ...

CTC Lympstone

Yes I agree Val and Pilgrim It's the flagwaving people who attend any re-union that are most important. It's great to see old pals and comrades.
But equally important is the venue. Do you think you would get the same response for a re-union in a village hall or Salvation Army hut near Accrington ...

Sigs Reunion

Enough of the jokes everyone!. This is SERIOUS. At the last Bash we were given the impression that CTC would be too busy to host us again NEXT YEAR and didn't want us again. And so they wouldn"t if their recruit entrance projections are correct and we have the Reunion at the same time as the last ...
