Reunions
We hold two reunions a year, in the spring and in the autumn. At the spring reunion we hold the AGM and a remembrance service. The autumn one is smaller and less formal but we always hold a remembrance service. There is always entertainment every night and a gala dinner on the Saturday night. There is a day trip on the Saturday to a local place of interest and usually an extra optional trip on the Sunday.
To give everyone a chance we move the reunions around the country and so far we have been to: Portsmouth, Chatham, Torquay, Llandudno, Scarborough and Blackpool. A return to the North of England is planned for the future and a reunion in Scotland is being considered.
Shirley Winn of Isle of Wight Tours is our social secretary and once our committee and AGM have decided on a venue Shirley organises it.
