I've just been passed some information from Terry Moyes regarding a reunion dinner:
A reunion dinner has been suggested, and seems to have been warmly received by the people who know of it so far.
Saturday 1st April 2006 (the venue being RAF Cosford Officer's Mess) is the anticipated date for the event but this is subject to change if a large enough number of people deem this inconvenient - hopefully it's far enough away for you to build your schedule around it.
It is open to both past and current members of the school, the more the merrier.
The price of the event will be kept minimal, and accomodation may be available in the mess for those entitled. Local accomodation for all others can be sourced as and when necessary.
On the day of the dinner, the boss extends invites to guests who wish to visit the VGS on the afternoon.
People contacted regarding the event so far include:
1. Mark Benton
2. Pete Evans
3. John Bullock
4. Krim Bullock
5. Simon Kesterton
6. Bob Williams
7. Matt Smith
8. Paula Smith
9. Bob Matthews
10. Kay Matthews
11. Joe O’Leary
12. Jane O’Leary
13. Paul Linney
14. Lisa Linney
15. Neil Withers
16. Terry Moyes
17. Michele Moyes
18. Phil Brown (FUBAR)
19. Motty
20. Sheena Easton
21. Dennis the Squirter
22. Rob Ruscoe
23. Caroline Ruscoe
24. Nick Harper
25. Duncan Braid
26. Lofty Lawton
27. Nick Jones
28. Alan OJ Garrity
Any other people missing from the link please get in touch with them and let them know about it. The quicker you can confirm your attendance the better, as it will give us time to organise catering and accomodation with more chance of success.
Any questions or confirmations should be forwarded to Terry Moyes on 07919 302123, or alternatively post a reply here and we can let him know on your behalf.
It should be a good night!

Cost £35 per head - this is higher than expected but is the best deal available from the Officers Mess which is now civilianised. However, the bar prices make up for this being 74p per pint, 45p for a G&T and £4 for a bottle of wine! A straw poll confirms this price to be acceptable for such an irregular event The menu is attached - please advise any special requirements Dress Please dress as you wish but Lounge Suits are the minimum acceptable to the mess Accomodation 3 options Travelodge - Telford - currently offering family rooms at a special price of £24 bookable online at www.travelodge.co.uk.

You will need to have photo ID Payment It is essential that you send me a cheque made payable to Terry Moyes by return as I have to pay the mess up front. To ease my already considerable burden can you please send these cheques quickly as i have not got the time to keep chasing - i will name and shame those who are dilitory!

Post by Paul Linney on Mar 5, 2006 1:15:34 GMT
Dear all,
Looking forward to the do.
Anyone else thinking about staying in the Sergeants Mess (includes late(r) license I think) - let me know, (Paul Linney on 0772 550 2463 or 01527 458 459).
Last time I looked it was about £5 per night, warm and initially dry bed with porkers greasy breakfast till 11ish.
I am without Mrs L for the evening and will need someone to make sure I don't sleep on top of a hanger or in ditch (no a ditch is not my preferred option any more).
Cheers
Paul.

I'm sure there'll be a few of us staying in the Sgt's Mess, not sure if you'll be able to book a room unless you're still a CI or Sgt though?
As regards the late license, Tuesdays and Fridays only I'm afraid! Nothing to stop you stocking up at closing time though...
Rob

Thanks Rob, don't think we've met. I am a serving SSgt and have tried the mess to book and it rang out - who do I speak to, can you supply a good extension (number that is).
Paul.

Post by robbo on Mar 6, 2006 10:55:32 GMT
Picking the right number seems to be pot luck recently, but this one works most of the time (he says!): 01902 377485 and there's also 01902 377269 but I'm not sure if that one goes straight to the mess manager!
Also try ringing mid morning - I think they all pack up and go home around 11!
Hope that helps!!
Rob

Jo B, you had better bring down those photos......looks like just about everyone will be incriminated.

Post by Matt Smith on Mar 9, 2006 22:08:03 GMT
Any images of me will obviously have been doctored to incriminate. If anyone has one of Lofty and me in a corridor of the all ranks mess at Newton................he forced me to do it!!

Just ask about the 'newton tongue'...........not that anyone will bring up the subject during the evening, after all we're all sensible adults.......and i'm sure copious amounts of alcohol will keep us all quiet.

It's a shame there isn't a picture of Lofty and Harpic after drinking that blue bols - Lofty sliding along the walls and Harpic falling out of the bus at the petrol station desperate to get a magazine!
Or Neil's face when Nick Bell popped out his tent!
(we'll forget my indiscretion with injured ribs, I still owe Neil and a few others a pint!)
I hope the night goes well, thanks for the invite but I'm working in Calgary for the next 12 months at least.
Please pass on my regards to Matt & Paula. I'll try and get in touch with them soon.
ps. Rushton has finally bitten the bullet and is dating a native!
