Dunc, drop me a PM or e-mail on ugsasreunion at googlemail.com, and I will add your name, even though it goes against my better judgement!

..You can't do both...

Just achieving one of them would have been a step forward Betty. Glad to hear things are still on track as`regards Reunion - is Dobbin still doing a slide show? May have some interesting photos to add to the collection...Big Sand ..be very afraid.

E mail on the way honest! I will try to get it out by the end of the week, failing that next week at the latest.
If any other ex UGSAS folk want to join in we will be meeting for pre curry Drinks at the "Good agreement" bar (if you are ex UGSAS you know where I mean!) at around 1730.
If you don't get an e-mail or if you haven't contacted me yet, please use ugsasreunion at googlemail.com (dont forget to substitute @ for at!) and I can give you more details.

Talking Last Call

Any ex-UGSAS folk who have not contacted me but still want to come to the reunion on 3rd Oct, please PM me, there are still some places available.
Format is beer, curry beer at the "Good Agreement" pub, "Large Diamond Curry palace" and THQ (only the names have been changed to protect the guilty).

Meet is 1730, dress smart casual, no jeans.

Be there or miss a large hangover! (Rumour has it that the Bat is bringing his wallet and may even open it at some stage!)

Thanks for setting this up old'n'bald, it was a great evening- albeit with reduced numbers compared with 2 years ago. Having seen the level of seniority (in a number of different professions) reached by some of my contemporaries, I am going to have to carefully search through my 1980s photo albums to protect their reputations!The thought of using these photo albums to earn a little tax-free cash is of course beneath me...

Cool

No problem C-B, if nothing else, it served as a reminder to me not to mix curry, beer, G&T and whisky (thankfully not in the Gesneider!). As for the photos, are you sure that all the ones of you have been destroyed??

Thanks again to all who were there, and to OC UGSAS for helping out.

Who is running with the next one?

What a grand night out. Thanks to old'n'bald.

Here's to the next time!

I'm sure that I heard Betty saying that she was up for organizing the next one...

75th

There is a Facebook page and I've posted on LinkedIn; just about to do the same here. Initial stages at the moment; however, I fully intend to celebrate the 75th.
