A TSW Member’s View
(Originally posted on the Guest Book)
“We’ve had a great time the previous few years and it’s like walking into a time warp, getting together with old mates and colleagues, having a beer, a laugh and boring the **** off each other with war stories which sound even better when you embellish them…..  Life is pretty short, so get yourselves down there to Stafford and let your old friends and colleagues know about it.  The more the merrier!  See you there.”

By now, all paid-up members of the Association should have received the Spring Newsletter with details of this year’s AGM and Reunion in June. 

We have, again, secured preferential rates at a local hotel in Stafford for those who wish to stay overnight.  A buffet supper will be available at the hotel on the Friday night 4th June for those wishing to make it.

The AGM itself will take place on Saturday 5th June starting at 1100 in the Sergeants’ Mess, with coffee being served from 1030.  As last year, the AGM will be followed by a buffet lunch in the Sgts’ Mess paid for by Association funds.  All are very welcome to join in the TSW Families Day activities during the afternoon.  As in previous years there will be a number of displays and activities to interest and amuse.  To mark the 40th Anniversary of the Wing, members are invited to make their way to the Association Hospitality area (white mini marquee and signs will make it stand out!) at the rear of HQ TSW where we will be offering free drinks on production of your Membership Card!  Through the good offices of the Wing, we have once again arranged the dinner in the Sgts’ Mess – this too will be subsidised by the Association.  To accommodate those members who also wish to attend the TSW Hangar Bash later in the evening, dinner is timed at 1830 for 1900.  As usual, transport to and from the hotel will be arranged for those who require it. 

If you have not received the Newsletter and wish to come along to the Reunion, please do get in touch with Duncan Grant, Tim Newstead or Bob McBey and we will forward the details, including an Application Form, to you.  Bob has kindly agreed to help in the pre-dinner admin this year; completed Application Forms and cheques should be forwarded to him by 7th May 2010 at the latest.

All in all, it promises to be a crackin’ time and we hope that as many members as possible will come along; we look forward to seeing you!
