No 47 Sqn Centenary Dinner

I would be so bold as to opine that all units contemplating the Centenary celebration of their old boys honour and glory would do no better than the recent 47 Sqn dinner in London. It was worth standing in a train full of Welsh rugby supporters all clutching their six packs of Brains beer as far as Reading, to attend this memorable evening in one of the halls that the guilds of the City enjoy the fruits of our labour. It's a shame that centenaries only come once every 100 years because the spectacle must be the high point of all association dinners and huge praise to the organisers. Only 300 or so friends and associates there but a fantastic evening. Nili nomen.
