03 March 2011 » 2011 Canberra Reunion at Charlecote
Reunion at Charlecote, 2011

The annual weekend reunion of the Canberra aircrew and groundcrew took place at the Charlecote Pheasant Hotel, 5 miles from Stratford upon Avon on the last Friday and Saturday of February. Once again there was a good turnout, 36 members on the Friday and 44 for a private dinner on the Saturday. We were also visited by Geoff Barrows and his wife, and also by Dr Rob Woolven.

This is the third year we have gathered at Charlecote and the staff must be complimented on the excellent service they provided in the difficult circumstances of building work underway at the hotel.
Arrangements for the 2012 reunion will be published on our website later this year.
