The general consensus of opinion is that it went well and most people enjoyed themselves. We did have a few complaints about the Hotel, some of them justified and some of them not so justified. The music was a bit on the loud side!

The Hotel infrastucture has been let go a bit as it is up for sale, obviously they don't want to spend money on it at this time. Some of the rooms are a shade on the Tatty side and could do with tarting up but on the whole it was quite reasonable for what we paid, just try and get a room in a Travelodge Or Premier Inn for £40 a night including two English breakfasts!!!

The actual Grosvenor room where the dinner was held was universally approved which at least justified our decision to hold it at the Allesley.

There have been various suggestions about the next reunion, one suggestion is that as we are all getting older we should have one more reunion next year in 2010 and call it a day whilst we are on the winning side. Another suggestion was that we continue to have it bi-annually ad infinitum .

 A new page on the web entitled "Vote" has been added where you can state your preferences, so, please use the page to let us know your preferences.

When you do fill in the form please ensure you complete all the boxes, we are particularly interested in your suggestions as to which town/city to hold it in and what hotel we should use. If you do suggest a Hotel please bear in mind it must have a function room to seat 140 minimum. Please remember that we rely on YOU to suggest Hotels, Florrie and I cannot travel all round the UK vetting Hotels, we are relying on you our members to come up with a viable alternative. We have started putting your photographs on the web page but please remember to tell us/me who the bodies are in the photographs.
