I have just spoken to John Nichols Jerboa Troop I believe same vintage as Jock Kelly. I have informed him of the dates for the 2017 re union and also provided a link to Denbury Days. Regards...

Phil Kirk has now repaid me the ?£500 deposit that I paid to secure the venue for the event next year. Thanks Phil.

2017 Last Parade Reunion Update. I went down to Newton Abbot at the weekend to meet Sylvia the event co-ordinator for the above. (at my own expense) Rick and Jim also attended the meeting. We checked out the venue and it is very adequate for our needs. I had a lengthily conversation with Pete Whitfield who holds all the troop flags and he will be getting/making flag standards so these can be carried on the short march by troops to the Cross on the 9th. We have decided that due to the limited space in the venue that a disco would be more suitable for this occasion. We will all have clip on name tags with Name Troop Name and dates at Denbury on. We were extremely lucky that Sylvia had some of these name tags and a computer disc so we can do it all ourselves. The saving on this is well over ?£100.00 so we had a bit of luck there. Jim Humphries is getting his granddaughter to do these for us. Rick is organizing the PA system at the Cross inviting the Mayor and partner and also liaising with the police to enable us to do the short march. I have transposed the menu s on to word and I will be sending you these by email. (With simple instructions) but if you dont have Microsoft word with can use the pigeons with paper and ink.. (Fear not) I know what I m doing. (I think) A big thanks to Terry Campbell for the accommodation. A big thanks to the committee for attending. All in all a fruitful meeting. Talk Soon with further updates.. Phil

Thanks to everybody who put their hands up for a Denbury Silk Tie and can now confirm the order has been placed ordering the minimum number would have meant a price increase to ?£21 so have gone for more ties and pleased to offer at ?£20 + postage the same as the first and subsequent batches from 2008 to 2013 will now been in touch with you to collect payments expecting delivery in circa 4 weeks not wishing to sound like a salesman but these will be the last!

Some of the emails didn t work so here is the email I sent to the Attending List Hi Guys. Just and update and to confirm email addresses on the above. Next weekend I am having a meeting at the Race Course Venue for the reunion with Sylvia who is the venue manager. I am hoping that Rick Underhill Pete Whitehead and Jim Humphreys will be able to accompany me to iron out any problems that could possibly arise. (What could happen) For those who have not fully paid up the ?£34.00 per head please do so as I feel that Sylvia will be looking to be paid soon. I also owe Jim (Chalky) ?£500 as he paid this a while ago and is looking for his money back. The payment details are on the Denbury Days Web site but (I say again) make cheques out to Phil Kirk (me) post to Devilish Desserts Unit j 6 Dominion Way Rustington West Sussex. BN16 3HQ. For those who donâ??t have my mobile number it is 07802 683910. Only use this if you are desperate and all of the details that you require are on Denbury Days. I am bulk sending this email so you may get words twice but donâ??t worry I know what I am doing. (Says he) So get the cheque in the post to guarantee your place in one of the most important events in our history. Oh by the way. Jackie has a contact with a very nice band who will perhaps perform at the reunion for use for a reduced price. The disco is ?£200 quid and although I donâ??t intend to make the cost any less as any cash left over will be going to Tony Gask and Steve Wright. (web services) I will keep you all informed. Now you all have a good day. Talk Soon Best Regards Phil (Doing his best)

I have on the Last Parade Reunion four emails that have been returned. Could you please verify these email. Thanks rasparks@tiscali.co.uk Lornaianhutton@aol.com leslie.ebbage@talktalk.net paulburdes@tiscali.co.uk

Last Parade Reunion 2017. For those who dont have a cheque book you can pay by PayPal to philkirk@btconnect.com If you state that I am friend or family it is free of charge. You will get a PayPal receipt and I get an email notification that you have paid. I have now managed to pay Jim back the ?£500.00 he personally paid for the deposit securing the venue so I am still looking for payment from a large number on the list. If you could get payment to me as soon as possible I can secure your place at the dinner dance. We are close to being oversubscribed now and for those that have been on the list from the early days it would be a shame to loose your place on this historic part of the Denbury Boys history.
