It is with regret and due to the ongoing restrictions that the decision to "Cancel" the Barnsley Denbury Boys reunion has been taken. I have asked the hotel to look at dates in May 2021 when they may be able to accommodate us. I also understand that May,may clash with other plans such as holidays, grandkids off school etc so this is only a suggestion at this time. The final decision will be made by Phil Kirk if the hotel can fit our event in. For some who regularly attend I am sure it is a disappointment, but it is out of our control.
Regards
Chalky

IN ADDITION TO CHALKY'S MESSAGE: Due to the ongoing restrictions, we have forecast that these will be still be in force in October, so we have taken the decision to "Cancel" the Barnsley Denbury Boys reunion for 2020. We are under contract that if we do not fill the reserved rooms or that we cancel late we have to pay for the rooms booked. Dawn has confirmed that we can have the weekend of 8th and 9th October 2021. We have NOT carried forward any booking as at our age it is not prudent to do so. God willing, we will all be at Barnsley Oct 21 for a great reunion. Please re book. My biggest regret is that I will not be able to watch Chalky write the cheque for the food. (Joke). For some who regularly attend I am sure you are as disappointed as I am, but regrettably it is out of our control.
Also, may I add that I have asked for nominations for new organizers as from previous posts it seems that some guys do not attend Barnsley because what they call my Ego. If this is the case, I will gladly stand down and let someone else take over then the Reunion to give it a chance to have a much larger following. Barnsley is a great location and accessible by all. It is all under one roof and the prices are and have been maintain for a long while now. So please submit your interest or if you have a preferred “organizer” we can take a vote on it.
Stay Safe. Keep Well. Looking forward to Barnsley 2021.

Newton Abbot Reunion 2020 now cancelled.
Hi All
I think would aslo be prudent to cancel the Newton Abbot Reunion at this time. Rick Underhill as said the RBL are unable to take function bookings, so i think this will give people time to cancel hotel reservations they may have made.
Hope to see you all next year.
Mike & Sue.
