Hi everyone. Viv and I had a great time at Taunton. Thanks for setting it all up Mike and Sue.

Hi Chris! (Jones). I assume you are going via Caen? Pegasus Bridge is just a few miles from the port of Ouistriham. My mother used to help out a Colonel Woods in the mid seventies, He was a JAG then, but after many years I found out that he was a lieutenant in the Ox and Bucks and was in charge of the second glider at the Bridge on June 6 1944. His uniform and medals should be in the museum now as I asked about him last time we were there and they told me his wife had just gifted them to the museum. He got the Legion 'D' Honour from the French and a piddling MBE (Military) from the British Government!!
From Oustriham just head up on the COAST ROADS towards Cherbourg, all the beaches are en-route and many small and large museums. Have a great time Chris. Mind the boulders in the car park at Omaha beach!!

Regards to all Mike.

Barnsley Reunion. Now fast approaching. Just a thank you for you cooperation in placing your food orders which have all been submitted now.
Also a quick reminder - don't forget to bring a raffle prize. No matter how small it will make a difference. Last year was a great success. Looking forward to seeing you all in October.

Hi All. As part of the Aldershot branch of the RSA I’m coordinating a visit to Beacon Barracks in Stafford, the current home of 1, 16 & 22 Signal Regiments on the 20th June this year. 16 Sigs are hosting us for the day which includes presentations of their modern-day role, lunch and practical demonstrations of their equipment. 1 and 22 Sigs will have some inputs (a presentation only) but it will mainly be a 16 Sigs event.
The numbers for the visit is limited but I do have some spare capacity if anyone is interested especially any ex-16 Sigs personnel. You can contact me by email cendean@btinternet.com
Regards Chris

Hi Guys I have had a room update from Barnsley and I have names on it that are not on the Denbury Days List (Easy Sorted) and Names on the Denbury Days list that are not on the Hotel Booking List. These are:
Dave Foster
Douglas Hallyar
Frank King
Jim McMillan
Jon Topping
Ken Kay
Winston Manning
If you think you have booked you need check. I know from experience that there is a mad rush towards the Reunion date to get a room so please book your rooms. Its an easy cancel if you cant make it up to two days before.
