Hi Ernie Sorry about delay in replying just returned from 3 weeks in Spain so now trying to catch up on back log of things to do ! Yes I remember you and recall that outing.I had two cars whilst at Denbury and the many outings in them. I passed my driving test in Newton Abbot 50 years ago! It would be good to talk or email of old times and update of 50 years that have passed? Regards Frank

Just a reminder about the New Denbury Boys Group for the not to Politically Correct Denbury Boys. The link is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/denburyboys/ Tony perhaps you could put it with the other sites please.

TonyThanks for putting the updated list on. We are set for the biggest Barnsley reunion ever with some 116 boys and guests attending. Still a few places left for those that are as yet undecided.

LesThere are some photos posted on the RSA site and including one of Ken and several of the Denbury Boys there including Brian Slavin at the reception booking in.I joined the regiment at the same time as the Nelson twin and Ron Preistley. regards Mike

I have just been on the RSA net and seen that a John Holmes is trying to contact George Emmerson. I have given him the www page for dembury days. George if you are looking at the guestbook John s email address is john@drum1.fsnet.co.uk

Hi Mike Thanks for the response to my message.I will pass on the names of the guys that were in the group talking to Ken (Plum) as he was trying to recall the names. While on about names you were at Denbury while I was there but the only Butcher I can recall was J/RSM RON BUTCHER.He was regimental football captain when I was there and the priviledge to captain the that I was pleased to take over when he moved on. What ever happened to Ron does anyone know not only Ron but to members of the team that got to the Army Football Cup Final CheerS lES

Just come off the telephone from speaking with Ken Harlick. He was telling me about the Blandford Reunion that has just been on and all of the ex Denbury boys that he met up with there some old boys and some newer ones. He wanted to say what a great weekend it was and thanks to all he met ( HE WAS THE GUY IN THE CHELSEA RED UNIFORM ) Cheers to everyone LES

Hi Mike that sound a goer for the future perhaps Bill Winder would like to be included in that he is in contact with Brian on a regular basis. Bill is in hospital at the moment so i would like to wish him all the best.I remember harry Meekins with great affection I was once on mess chores for some long forgotten reason and equally long forgotten is the problem that caused me to go running to Harry but what isnt forgotten is Harrys response He went round to the back door with me he put a hand on the rail each side of the door lifted a huge boot up and kicked the door down I assume they had locked it to keep him out .What happened after that i dont remember but i have no doubt Harry was the victor . It is nice to know he is still alive-and kicking ! Off to Bulgaria & some sun shortly so all the best & speak to you soon .CheersDes
