We had to announce in February that we would not be able to hold our usual reunion this summer because the bands are going to be extremely busy starting with the Coronation, and are unable to host the event. We are now able to confirm that this year’s reunion will be in the evening of Friday 22nd September at RAF Northolt, starting at 6.00pm. Following a Sunset Ceremony performed by RAF Central Band, there will be a buffet consisting of a choice of curry or a vegetarian option, and then a social where we will be entertained by a jazz band provided by the Music Services. As a bonus this year the whole evening will be free of charge, and will be open to all ex-RAF musicians and their guests, not just members of the RAF Music Services Association.
Timings are expected to be as follows:-
18.00 Reception
18.45 Sunset Ceremony
20.00 Buffet at The Sword and Wheel club (Sergeants’ Mess)
20.30 Jazz Band and social
22.30 End
We hope you will wish to attend. Numbers may be limited so you are advised to apply early to be sure of getting a place (and certainly by 1st July). An application form will be sent to RAFMuSA members with The Blue and the Gold, or you can download the form here and print it. Once you have completed the form you can either post it to the Membership Secretary or scan it and send it by email (details are on the form).
We look forward to seeing you in September.
