Sorry to steal your thread!
I'm a more recent member (2000 - 2003) and we're also meeting at the vale fri 23rd March for happy hour, followed by a night in sunny southport. Then we're looking at going into Liverpool for an all dayer on the sat. I haven't got e-mail addresses or mob numbers for everybody, but the more that can make it the better. hopefully see you in the bar!

What ever happened about the full LUAS reunion that the Boss referred to a few months ago? I was '70-'73 and have some very happy memories of the Squadron back then.

LUAS Association
Ex-members of LUAS - there are two events planned so far:
There is a happy hour for 2000-2003 students on 23rd March.
I am planning a weekend event with a Saturday evening function on 2nd June for ex-studens of the late eighties/early nineties. I am also in communication with OC LUAS to form a formal LUAS Association. This will be officially kicked off this summer and we are looking to hold our first function (DI night) in the Autumn. The Association will also have its section on the LUAS website ( liverpooluas dot com ) so interested parties can find out out to join etc. I am looking to hear from anyone who used to be a member or connected with LUAS as I have started a distribution list and it would be great to hear from people so we can start form a decent membership of the Association.
Watch this space for more news as I have it.

I was on the mighty LUAS from 93-96. Am still in regukar contact with a few of the boys and would be very interested in a reunion/piss-up.
Nathan, beavis, collacott, ivan, welsh gareth, toby etc...

I was there from 85-88, three of the best years of my life. High point was definitely winning the Slash Trophy - low point was what I did to get it !!!
BTW we don’t need a LUAS Association, we already have one it is called “The SLOBS” (Society of Liverpool Old Boys). We have been meeting up every Christmas at a hotel in Liverpool, dining in night style, since the early nineties. Usually get about 20 attendees from years 84-89. I will email them this link and PM Bulldog69.
See you all there.

LUAS Reunion - 2 Jun 07
Sounds like we have quite a few contacts out there so let's start pulling it together. I am happy to collect names and have set up an e-mail account specifically for this prestigious occasion: luas.reunion at btinternet.com (convert this in to an e-mail address).
Start passing this address on to all LUAS members around the late 80's and early 90's and encourage them to get in touch with name and details etc.

LUAS Reunion - 2 Jun 07
Right Guys,
This thread has gone quiet after lots of initial interest but I have been in touch with LUAS and the reunion is on! The main reunion event will take place on Saturday 2 Jun 07 from 1700 onwards. The draft programme is as follows:
Saturday
1230: Meet at OM for lunch (those who want it)
1400 - 1700: Tour around LUAS and Tutor ac
1700: Reunion and meal
Sunday
0900: Breakfast
1000: Tour around LUAS and Tutor ac
1200: Depart
The programme is flexible so that we can accommodate different arrival and departure times (i.e. there are two chances to look around LUAS). I now need to start collecting names, contact details and whether you need accommodation on the Saturday night. So start spreading the word and encourage people to get back to me as this will only work if we get a decent number of ex-LUAS students to come along. The contact address is luas.reunion at btinternet.com (convert this into an e-mail address).
Cheers

Vauxhall
Sounds like fun. What will you guys can talk about? Here are some suggestions:
1. Why you almost always lost the Vauxhall trophy?
2. Why your women were worse than the girls from Manchester?
3. Why did you almost always lose the boat races/drinking games in the mess?
4. And finally why could you guys never actually learn to fly properly?

Luas Reunion
Oggin, I find your last post lacking in taste. Refering to the deaths of 2 young people is hardly an apprpriate response to a bit of the tradditional friendly banter which has passed between the 2 excellent UASs at Woodvale for years.
When I returned to Woodvale from a detached Summer Camp immediately after another tragic incident at Woodvale, I discovered the students from both UASs in the bar comforting each other. There was no division between the Sqns at that time or during the ensuing period. Everyone at Woodvale worked together magnificently. The mutual support given by the studes of both Sqns and their bearing at the funerals of their comrades will remain in my memories always. I was proud to be OC Woodvale (and MASUAS).
Keep the banter light hearted and have a great reunion!!

"Don't forget the naked run around the control tower! Always good sport on a night shift!!"
Reminds me of a good 'Father Abrahams (had seven sons)' night we had one night (MASUS: I think LUAS were all away sorting their perms). It was mid winter, and we had exhausted the usual possibilities (i.e. we had nowt on) so "dancing on the Meteor Tailplane" seemed like a great idea!
Some time later, with the said Meteor pointing skywards, and our skinned soles leaving blood stains around the bar, it seemed like a less good idea.
Mind you it didn't stop the next verse "and father Abraham moonied at the A565 traffic".
Glad to see the SLOBS are reminding themselves each year of how good they might have been!
Hey, CaptainSandL even gave the running commentary while I thrashed his compatriates in the Reid!
Cheers Chris
I'm delighted to include Captain SandL and Richie Barker and others amongst my peers and mates of that era, and what a great era it was.
I write this from the Changi SIA Business lounge 22 years later: what an age away it all seems now, but so recent and familiar!

Luas Win Vauxhall!
Vauxhall trophy returned home to LUAS this week!
Best of 7 sports and they went 4-2 up yesterday with one irrelevant sport left today. The victories include rugby, football, netball, and hockey!

Hurrah!
Great news Rooftopartist! The Vauxhall was always a thorny subject when I was on LUAS - we spent the time drinking and the MASUAS crowd spent the time running and exercising, although it was very satisfying when we beat them at rugby in my last year!
All those from LUAS keep passing the news about the reunion on 2 Jun!

What booze are you drinkin'
Green and yellow?
Green drink? (Blue bols, Tia maria, Cheery Brandy and cider IIRC!)
Mach 9? (9 assorted clear shorts and milk in a pint)
Don't forget to sing our favourite song
"MASUAS wank wank wank, MASUAS wank wank wank"
Do that lot still watch Star Trek during happy hours?
I joined in '92 so just miss out. Have a good one fellas.
BTW, what ever happened to Gomez? Last I heard he had rapped his tits in after passing SAP 10 and had a paddy about going rotary and it all got rather legal and messy?
