Reunions
Is there a regular regimental reunion or are they not happening anymore. Been to a couple of O Battery ones but they seem to have fallen by the wayside now as well. |

Re: Reunions
Hi there Fish mate, I have not made it to one yet because of still living in Dortmund, but as far as I know L Bty have one with N Bty on the August Bank Holiday Yearly. And this year it would be nice to see a type of Regimental Reunion in Bernard Castle, in Yorkshire maybe it could be sorted out and I will get my ass over with a few of the guys that are still here. All the best then bye for now. Eric Walker |

Re: Reunions
Eric, I seriously doubt that Barnard Castle could cope with the influx of people and I mean that in the best possible way, George Foster has been succesful with this reunion for years, there is however the Scotch Corner Hotel down the road that has accommodation and function rooms that could become an option |

Re: Reunions-Bob Irvine
Thank's for the Info. Mick, Colin meant the Bob Irvine who joined up with us both in 74.He went with us to N Battery, couldn't see him becoming an officer in the cadet's, probably more chance of me becoming the next Pope....if you read this Bob, only joking.. ;) |

The range warden didn't understand what targetry I wanted. I had Dan talking to a frog who spoke dutch talking to a german who spoke dutch. It took a while but we got it sorted.
