I have been asked to post that Geordie Dobson has been diagnosed terminally ill. Vince Borda and John Topping have been to see him.
Geordie is great friends with Jim Brown and Mick Waring and theycould always be found together at reunions.
I am sure we all offer our sincere wishes to all his family and friends at this time.

Can someone post this on the other site please

Chalky and all.
c was set up many years ago 2003/4, i think, at a RSA Blandford weekend. At that time it was instigated by Dixie Dixon, Bob Wathen Terry Reyonlds and myself, and I was given the job of secretary. I then contacted the RSA and it became an offical RSA Assn. At that time The RSA secretary linked to denburyjuniorleaders.com, which at the time Steve was totaly against the link. The assn never realy never took off as at that time there so many against having a offical status for the group. It is stiil part of the RSA. If you check the photos of the 2005 reunion the banner is headed Denbury Junior Leaders Regt Association.

Regards
Mike.

For Stuart Swallow,remember it,and you as well,as you said we had good times and not so good ones.I remember the fire vividly and the great loss of John Albiston and John Ball,it’s funny the things you remember about it.When we were told to get out the first things I went for was my best boots and great coat which I put on very quickly before dashing to the drill shed.
A merry Xmas to you and all remaining members of that intake.

John Topping has just advised me that “Geordie” Dobson passed away at 5.45 this morning Friday 2nd Feb. RIP Geordie.

Sorry further to my previous post.
At the time of formation a committe was formed Myself secretary, Terry Renolds Treasurer. A small joining fee was paid and as the assn never took off after about a year, the funds were passed to the RSA Charity Fund. And the account closed.
