I belive aber won this years team competition.
Hi All
Just logged on since the reunion last weekend (had to have time to recover).
Firstly,
I'd like to take this opportunity to Thank Major Ellingham and his team for once again a well organised and enjoyable reunion.
Secondly,
Congratulations to all the shooting teams that entered this year's competition and of course to the Aberystwyth Branch for winning the team cup and also to Bargoed and Blackwood Branch for winning the Individual Cup. A big congrats goes out to all the Standard Bearers which took part in the re-introduction of the standard bearers competition again, especially to the Merthyr Branch for gaining the winner and runner up trophies, to Lawrence David for being the first secretary to have his name on the Arthur Ellingham's Branch Secretary award plate.
Lastly
Its nice to see the banter has started between the branch shooting teams for next year's competition and some have taken the "bait" already, keep it going lads/ladies.
To end on a high, I hope that everyone along with me would like to wish Arthur and Yvonne a wonderful and graceful retirement and all the best for the future. A Big Thank to you both for all the hard work and support that have given to all branches and this forum. Also to wish Col Nick Lock and all the lads/ladies in the 1st Bn a safe up and coming tour of Afghanistan. God Speed!
Best Regards to all

Good God Benny did it take you 4 days to get back to your home...and it's just up the road from Wrexham! Or did the weekends rigours take it's toll and it's only now you've surfaced?
Seriously mate. It was a brilliant weekend there were so many of our era there which goes to show that the RWFCA can be a strong association for many years to come. It was good to see Spud Murphy after so many years and he only lives in Conahs Quay! and to see Jonny Wiseman looking a picture of health was heart warming indeed.
Has anybody else got mates who turned up either for the first time or returned after many years absence?
Hingey
