Great idea Mike, I would attend wherever it was held. I used to live in Poole and worked at Blandford camp for 16 years plus prior to returning to Scotland after retirement so would be delighted to go to Weymouth, it's a lovely place. Hope a lot more people agree. Graeme Nicol.

Mike, I fully appreciate the circumstances of a proposal to move out of Taunton. Given that we still have the Newton reunion and the Barnsley reunion (South and North), I wonder whether there would be any appetite for a more Midlands based reunion, not exactly Birmingham but the Midlands. I am not suggesting Hereford for it because the communications ie the means to get here are rubbish and limited venues. Any thoughts??
Regards George

Weymouth Reunion 25/26th February 2022
Firstly, many thanks for the positive comments in moving to Weymouth from Taunton for the February reunion.
I have made the decision and contacted the landlord of The Famous Old Spa, with the proposed dates, which he is happy with.
There are two Premier Inns in Weymouth, Gateway Business Park, Mercery Road, DT3 5HJ. This hotel is next to a Beefeater. It is only about half a mile from the FOSpa.
The second is on Beach Road and just over a mile or so walk. at Lodmoor Country Park, Preston Beach Road, Weymouth DT4 7SX Brewers Fayre is next door.
Both are at the moment are offering deals on rooms for February.
It is very sad to have to leave the Blackbrooke Inn, Taunton. It was there we held our first reunion in 2003, with just 18 attending. Organized by Dixie Dixon (RIP) and myself after a recce in the area, it was a great pub then. We then went down to Newton Abbot meeting with local lads Rick Underhill and Leo Gordon Marchant (RIP) who both attended Taunton and Norm Rookes who was down on holiday. We formed the first Newton Abbot Reunion. There was reunions previously at NA run by Sam Ward but had ceased some years earlier. And as SW says “the rest is history”.
So I look forward to meeting you all again in Weymouth, and some new, old faces in February.
I will post more details in due course, hope to see some of you in Newton Abbot next month.
Regards
Mike & Sue

George thanks for your comments. I am sure if anyone would like to organize a midland base reunion I am sure it would be supported. Too far away for me.
Take care and hope to see you again in the future.
Regards
Mike
