Hi.Tony. Denbury in my day was the camp I left for Korea.
I have wondered over the years as to what went on there over the years.
I have been to Blandford many times but I have yet to meet a guy who stayed there.Hopefully I will make it for the 100th,as I did for the two earlier in Salisbury.Bye for now,its time for my No.9. David

On behalf of Phil and myself a big thanks to all who attended the Barnsley reunion last weekend. Thanks for all the raffle prises. Next year is going to be slightly different and Tony will post details in the future. Again thanks for a great weekend

Thankyou Mike and Sue Butchers for organizing the reunion at Weymouth. It was good fun over the two days and we met a couple of lads and their ladies who were new to us and others who we had not seen for a few years. We look forward to the next reunion. Regards to all. Mike and Viv.

Jan, have just seen your message, yes I'm sue I'm speaking for many of the lads who remembered Dave. He was in the same boys troop as me, but he joined a bit after me, but still one of the boys, he was also a regular member and posted many posts on the what I call the real Denbury boys site, but then he either stopped posting or lost interest I can't say, but the news of his passing was a shock to me and many others, I hope you are well and in good health. If there is anything you would want of us, please come on again and ask and I'm sure someone will do their best to help you. kind regards, Terry.

Is anybody interested in a reunion at Barnsley this year? If we can show sufficient interest, maybe Phil Kirk & Chalky White may relent and organise it.

Following the Barnsleyfest I was hoping to read something about the memorial or commemoration feature of a Denbury Boy, as was suggested in the summer with the death of Taff, Bob Wathen. It would be good to know the outcome or what?
