I do remember visiting a Club in Caernarvon the Marconi Club I think owned by an ex Maj. I believe, now that was quite interesting but it was 1972 I think? I was 3rd Bn then up to bolster the honour guard for the Colours I was on the Slate Key.
Oh the days of Company Clubs in Tidworth, Inter Coy Darts playing against Delta Company Cap Comforters, or a Night in Alpha Company’s Pigs Bar now that took some doing.
Or Lemgo when we had the Ladies of the Night from Hamburg entertaining us in Cpls Mess and a Certain Cpl Ally was left with his socks Army socks at that! Oh yes Happy Days?
After that it was thought unprofessional of the army to have such events on the base, so it was stopped, and instead it was seen more expectable for the wives to attend Chippendale events and a such, what went wrong!!!
My time at the Depot was April 1968 - way before the time of some of the authors of items on this forum. No matter, the names all mean something and, having just spent a pleasurable few minutes (15!!) reading through from pages 1 to 6, I implore the management (BB and AP1) to make sure that this particular thread is NEVER closed!
Agreed:yes:
them were the days
