Dont forget, that the main event for the 30th Anniversary of the Falklands Conflict is the dedication of the Falklands Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas on Sunday 27th May. This is during the weekend of the SAMA (82) AGM and Gala Dinner on Saturday 19th May. Why not come along to that and use it as your reunion too? Details on the SAMA (82) website.

There will be a Platoon (or platoons) of Falkand Veterans marching in the National Armed Forces Day parade in Plymouth on 30th June 2012. We have asked to lead the parade with the SAMA (82) National Standard as this is the 30th Anniversary and there is nothing planned in London. See SAMA Website and Discussion Board for details.

Just all head down to Gosport for the weekend of 26th /27th May for the Reunion and concert on HMS Sultan Polo Fields on Sat 26th and on Sunday 27th May a march through Gosport for the Falkland Veterans to excercise their right to the Freedom of the Borough behind a Royal Marine Band, with a Service in the Falkland Gardens and a reception afterwards. If there are enough veterans from a particular unit, then it may be possible to have your own platoon. The SAMA (82) Caravan and Camping Branch have secured pitches on Kingfisher Caravn Park acroos the road from the Polo Fields, so bring a carvan/campervan/tent and save on Hotel Bills.

Any progress on the reunion? We’ve got at least 8 stokers from 82 who wish to attend. I’m sure wherever the venue turns out to be we will all make it. The weeekend of 19/20th May would be ideal for reasons mentioned previously but I’m aware that there is a concert and a ceremonial march going on the weeekend after in Gosport. I’m now speaking on behalf of Ian (Jonah) Jones as he is only small and someone has placed his keyboard on the top shelf and he can;t reach it – even standing on a chair! Also on behalf of Ian(Hammy) Hamiltion as he is built like Stoneman and the size of his fingers are not conducive to using a keyboard! Hope to hear something soon? Regards, Landscape.

I don’t actually remember you but I was an RO (W) on the Argonaut from 72-74 so our paths must have crossed. You must have been onboard when Jan Kerslake, John Uttley, Chris Fagan etc. were there.

Just had a quick look at the feedback form. Just to say that I don’t care where, don’t really mind the cost (within reason) and don’t mind if it is a buffet, sit down meal or all you can drink night…I just need a good night out with my old oppos!
