Annual Reunion at North Weald 2011

The annual get-together of the whole Association this year will again be at
North Weald Aerodrome and the planned date is Saturday, 20 August.
The  arrangements for the day are as usual: meet up at the Airfield Museum, lay our  wreath at the Memorial, and then drive to The Squadron for the remainder of the day.
Timings:
11.00 onwards Meet up at the Airfield Museum and view
exhibits
11.45 Lay Association Wreath at Airfield Memorial
12.00 Drive to  The Squadron for Refreshments
13.00 Lunch
14.30 Talks
15.30  Raffle
16.30 Depart as you will

Please return your Booking forms By 23 July at the latest.

Because of progressive increases in  prices and an increase of VAT, the cost this year will have to be slightly  increased — £15.00 per head for members and their guests (£10.00 for our ATC  Cadets and children under drinking age — any under eights free). If you can  still manage to bring a Raffle prize, please do so as the Raffle proceeds  boosted Association funds by almost £100 last year.
