Channing Wood project. and proposed Memorial Bench to Bob.
I wonder if it could be considered that we may be able to meet both requirements into one.
The Channing wood proposed Plaque give a "History" of the DBG with the site of Channing Wood. Whilst I do not know if the stone is inside or outside it would it would be an ideal spot for 2 benches to be made by the carpenters shop at the prison, one to remember our association and one to remember a typical Denbury Boy who had an affinity with the area.
If this site is near the visitor area all the better to show visitors the history.
We have I believe the fund will cover the costs of these together with the "All" weather plaques. This will not require us to gain permission to site a bench on either public or National land and take away the need for "Health and Safety" inspections and maintenance and possible insurance. Perhaps the Channing Wood team can comment and perhaps a "Poll" arranged by Tony on this site is an idea.

Thanks for your efforts for the Barnsley Reunion. I know the numbers were down this year but please don’t give up on it just yet. Those that attended had a good time - and we would like it to continue.
All the best

Hello to you all.

My father is unfortunately extremely ill and we are now spending a lot of time going over the past! One of his most cherished times was when was posted to Denbury as a PT Instructor. I have one photograph of him with the boxing team and thought it was worth a shot to see if any of you old boys had any anecdotes or even photographs?

I followed my Father into the Corps as a Radio Telegraphist and eventually retired to Australia after reaching the rank of Captain (Traffic).

I met an number of my fathers trainees over the years at the corps reunions but without mobile phones and email I had no contact details.

I am grateful for anything you may have!

Thanks in advance.

Stu

Certain facts stated by him are incorrect in terms of “Copyright” and Timeout of Copyright.
Below is the statement made by Mr. Wright dated August 2019. I reprint it as some may not visit the site which is now “Dedicated” to Bob Wathen. The statement is in quotes. “ - “.
To me personally this may be taken as a request for financial donations to support the site now that it is dedicated to Bob Wathen. I will not be contributing any further as I have always felt that this site was dedicated to all who served as a Denbury Boy.
I also remember a post on Facebook 45 weeks ago stating the only HISTORY from September 1963 to the end would be the content of the site due to some kind of hassle. If this is going to be the case, then how can it be dedicate to Bob as he had been and gone by September 1963. “As to modern History”? WHY.
Confused.com I am as to intentions by site owner.

“Need to make a statement regarding copyright on this website, if claiming this the following would appear “Copyright 2004 SWW All Rights Reserved”, instead the statement at the bottom of each page “Copyright: We don’t mind if you copy the material but please be decent about it and acknowledge this website”.

The home page states “Thanks go to the Royal Signals Museum – Wire magazine – Mid Devon Advertiser – Western Morning News also Denbury Boys and staff who are in touch have contributed items and have made the important financial donations to make this all possible”, it is impossible to put ownership to all images as many of the same were sent by several folks and then was able to pick the best quality one, having a photograph does not mean you own it unless you took it, if you are on it clearly you could not have taken it, I rest my case!

Denbury official photographs were “crown copyright” however understand this does cease after 50 years, BTW at the very beginning of this project, tried to track down the photographer “Nicholas Horne Ltd of Totnes” who took these official photographs, long out of business, no records, also tracked down the Newton Abbot printers who took on printing the graduation programmes, spoke to a gentlemen on the phone who remembers throwing out what they had a few years before.

For the record back in 2004 applied for and received a permit to display “crown copyright” material, also checked with the Royal Signals Museum and Wire magazine and got the go ahead to publish their material as long as I mentioned them.

This website is now dedicated to Bob “Taff” Wathen RIP and intending a revamp to include “modern history” and will go through my files seeking out items of interest and troop/group images, however this will take some time.”

Thank you
Steve Wright

Are the Denbury Reunions still going to be in Newton Abbot?

Stu Jackson. What year was your Dad at Denbury? I remember a couple of PTIs but cant put names to them. I also ended up in Oz

Gents
Is anyone on the committee of the following association.
Denbury Junior Leaders Regt Association denburyjuniorleaders.com.
On a GOOGLE SEARCH it clearly states it is an association. The rules for association are well laid down. I have to assume it is UN-INCORPORATED, but have now idea how it is run or how donation are recorded and expenses accounted for.
Can anyone help.
