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.

Thanks for the information on the now defunct "Association". I had no idea that any association had been formed. I am pleased that the framework rules were adhered to.
Chris Jones sorry you feel bored with my posts. You know what they say "don't bother reading" if it bores you. As to diatribe ( forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something). This is not the case if you knew some of the things that has gone down by Steve Wrights actions you may feel differently. As to Barnsley being low on numbers because of my actions not true. We are all getting older and I know of at least 20 who have come over the years who themselves or partners are now unable to travel. Barnsley is no different to other reunions which will see reduced numbers over the coming years.
Finally and I know you may by now be getting bored. Just ask yourself who has been responsible for the divisions of the sites. The answer is Steve Wright.
