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!

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!
