stationpic948.jpg, 15641 bytes 62nd Anniversary 122 Wing JSL AGM and 124 Wing Oldenburg to Gutersloh Reunion - Lunchtime Sat 18th May 2019 at the RAF CLUB

128 Piccadilly, London, W1J 7PY.
(100 yards E of Hyde Park Corner tube or 600 yds W of Green Park- Both Piccadilly Line - see map below).

     Lunchtime has not been convenient for everyone as some longer distance travellers in UK are committed to two overnight stops.   But as it seems to work for the majority we are continuing to hold the reunion on Saturday lunchtime - we are serving food at 1300 hrs to allow extra time for the distant travellers.   Mick's "Management" tells him that 1330 was too long to wait.   If you can't make it by 1300 we are sure the Club will hold your meal for you.   Just another reminder, if a food or accommodation booking is not cancelled before 18 May 2022 - Mick Ryan will be charged the full amount!   Calling Notices will be going out early April 2022.

122 Wing Jever Steam Laundry Jever

     31 attended last year - 21 from 122 Wg and 10 from 124.   The Golden Share was awarded to Dickie Barraclough - for regular attendance over many years.

     We have lost one less this year since the last AGM, (probably because there are fewer of us left!)   Seven in all: Bill Ritchie, John Farley, Peter and Jennifer Jones, Charles Gibbs, Paddy Harbison and Mollie Asker.

     Once again I would just like to reiterate and remind relatives of those who have died, regardless of when, that you are very welcome to attend.   Some relatives may have reservations about this, but please do not feel shy, you will be made very welcome.

124 Wing Gutersloh (plus Oldenburg & Ahlhorn)

    Alan Pollock writes here in Fred Daley's temporary absence in Paris but should be back in UK on 6th/7th April.   The great news is that both Petra and Fred hope to be with us at this year's Reunion and will be staying then at the RAF Club.   As many know, Fred has not had any e-mail connection for some long time.   If Alan can help anyone, his E address is synectics5d.t21@btinternet.com & his tel 01483 272517 with best time to contact him usually 3pm to 1030pm.   Fred and Petra are both well and now living in UK and have settled in Worcester permanently.   Their address is Flat 19, Whiston Court, White Ladies Close, Worcester WR1 1QA Tel: 01905 724 425 (mobile 07940 953167)

FOOD

     The Club is offering a choice of one of the following three hot dishes:

     1. Steak, Kidney and Mushroom Pie with Roast Potatoes & Vegetables - £21

     2. Chicken Curry with Rice and Popadoms - £21

     3. Fish & Chips - £21

     and for those who want to stay with the usual 124 Wing sustainers:

     4. Sandwiches (2 Rounds) - £10.50.

     5. And with any of the above, or by itself, Soup of the Day with Roll and Butter - £6.50

     When you reply to our Calling Notice, please let Mick know if you want food and what your choices are.   Please pay for it at the bar on the day.   If you are staying at the Club give your room number and it will be charged to your account.   Please try to give Mick an e-mail address, even if it is for a friend or relation who can pass it to you.   The cost of postage was about £20 last year and, this year, of the 143 calling notices that Mick sent out there were still 22 requiring stamps.

ACCOMMODATION

     Mick has not reserved any rooms this year at the RAF Club.   If you would still like to stay either before or after, (you do not have to be a member), just let Mick know what type of room you would like.   We recommend that you book early as the club is very successful these days and the rooms go several months ahead for the weekends.   However, RAF Club members can book in to the Cavalry and Guards Club next door or any attender can book into the Caledonian Club (see Alternative Accommodation on the web site).

     The costs at the RAF Club for 2019, which do not include breakfast (£11.75), were as follows:

                                   Members    Non-members
     Single room                £94.00        £119.00

     Double room             £146.00       £192.00

     Double Superior room £163.00       £210.00

     Breakfast: In Dining Room: £11.75. Continental also available in the Cowdrey Lounge.

I have the honour to be

Your Almost Obedient Chairmen

                                                     Alternative Accommodation

1.  I offer the following suggestions for those who may make a late decision to come and may not be able to gain a room in the Club.

2.  Where web sites exist, I leave those of you on the net to look up the details. I have included some basic information on the accommodation for those not on the net so you will be able to contact the organisation of your choice.

3.  Caledonian Club.   The RAF Club has reciprocal arrangements with other clubs both in UK and overseas for RAF Club members only.   The Caledonian Club is one of them and is within easy walking distance of the Club, being at 9 Halkin Street Belgravia.   [See map below}.   The telephone number is: 020 7235 51662 - however, do not deal direct with the Caledonian Club in the first instance.   I suggest you do that through Mick to avoid any booking cockups.   I have included the number so if you are accommodated there you can contact the Caledonian Club about your personal arrangements.

4.  Direct Hotels London - www.Hotels.com.   Modestly calls itself the most popular Hotels website for cheap hotels in London.   I suggest that if you are not on the net you ask a relative of friend who is, if you can call and see the website.   It would be easy for the person to book online for you.   There is a map showing where the hotels are. Prices vary according to the 'Star' rating.   If you make a sudden late decision to attend call on 0871-200-01718.

5.  Victory Services Club - www.vsc.co.uk.   The Victory Services Club is a Tri-Service, All Ranks Members' Club for currently serving and retired members of the Armed Forces, ideally located at Marble Arch in the heart of London's West End.   You will need to join (Single membership is £20 per annum through varying other categories to the most expensive Family [joint] £45 per annum).

6.  Even if you are not coming to the AGM, it is worth noting that parents or children of serving or ex-service personnel can join in their own right under one of the membership categories, even though they have not been in any of the armed services. So if you or one of you family take grandchildren (or in our family more accurately termed 'domestic terrorists') to London for treats just once a year you will more than likely break even.   Two visits and you are in the money.    Costs vary: a single room, including breakfast, is £39.50.and at the other end of the scale, a family room en suite with 2 adults plus 1 sprog is £144.50.   If you are not on the net, I suggest you do as I suggested above and ask a relative or friend who is to let you see the website.   You can then do a virtual tour.   It's a really good deal.   Telephone 020-7616-8302.

7.  I hope this information was useful.
