1961 + 50 = 2011

Guys, it is about time we started to think about "Our" next monumental event.  I've not exactly had negative feedback on the idea of going back to The Brecons but there's not been a flood of enthusiasm for it either.

Anyway, as a more central alternative I would like to put forward the following establishment.....

http://www.pendley-manor.co.uk/

I did stay here during the 2007 All-Ex-Brat Reunion as the Holiday Inn at Aston Clinton wanted a mere £175 per night. The Pendley Manor only wanted £80 for B&B. which included creaking floorboards.  It really is a nice 'gaff'.  The three advantages being...

            a)    Five minutes from Tring railway station.
            b)    Not far off the M1.
            c)    Very close to The Grand Union Canal for those who wished they'd joined the Navy.
            d)    Most of us will have driven there, illegally, 47 years ago.

In all seriousness it is an outstanding building set in very elegant grounds.

So let's get the ball rolling in these early days so that the organisers are not running around like the SWO on Passing Out Day.



As I type there seems to be moves afoot to stage the Big 50 Reunion in Staffordshire near the National Arboretum

So as you may guess nothing has been set in concrete yet.
