This year’s reunion will take place on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th September 2010 and will follow previous year’s format. Friday. Informal get-together at the Queens Hotel in the evening. Saturday: If numbers dictate we will be doing the long walk back to camp along the River Lemon, passing the old camp and calling in at the o The Jolly Sailor Ogwell for lunch. We will be leaving the clock tower at 10.00 hrs. Those who do not wish to walk there is ample car parking at the Jolly Sailor where they serve reasonably priced bar food and lunches. This year’s reunion will be held at The Jolly Sailor at 19.00hrs in their excellent function room, the number of those attending will be limited to 50. A buffet will be served during the evening and there will be background music available. I am sure John and his staff will provide us with the best possible service during the evening. We look forward to meeting you all in September. Booking information is in the files section. Mike and Sue Butchers Quadrant 1961 - 63 Barnsley Reunion 2010 - Update - Reunion For those coming to Barnsley here is the Format and costs. Room Rate is as last year at £25/per/night. Friday is free and easy and regulars will know the format. Saturday. A change of format this year. We are having our reunion in the "Fitzwilliam Suite" this because the reunion coincides with my 65th. My intention was to provide all food and entertainment, with attendee's making a donation to the Denbury Boys Welfare Fund. As you know following the vote this will now not happen. I have negotiated £16/Head for the Buffet, which will be charged to your room. The menu is a "Curry Stall" serving both BEEF and CHICKEN with rice. A finger buffet consisting of Sandwiches (Multi types) Sausage rolls, Chicken Drumsticks, Pizzas etc. I have catered for 160 people so there should be no shortage of food. Entertainment is by way of "Disco" (60's/70's) and Live music. The room has its own bar. Time 7pm till late. Dress. Suited and Booted. (With the exception of Mr. David Kelly who must wear a kilt.) 121 Denbury Boys / wives/Partners are attending. More About Strokes - Health STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters..... S. T. R. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away). She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S - Ask the individual to SMILE.. T - Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today.) R - Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke - Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke. Next >> - Showing 1 to 3 of 9 |
