Saturday Arrivals And
Gathering.
|

It was a relief that Saturday dawned slightly
overcast and the forecast was for lower temperatures with a breeze. With that news The Editor and his Manager
decided to set off for the reunion.
We entered the N.M.A. in the guise of General Public and Partner and
met up with the sole official attending representative of 52A, our good
friend Bill Gibson. We neatly side
stepped the A.O.B.A. official booking in desk and set about topping up the
tea level before the parade
Reception was at the National
Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffordshire. The Friday contingent was bussed in from
the hotel and those travelling freestyle collected their documents and
badges here.
