AT LUNCHTIME ON SATURDAY 27TH JUNE, 2015, OVER 90 PERSONS, MADE UP OF EMPLOYEES, WIVES, WIDOWS AND PARTNERS GATHERED AT THE WORLDS END, ECTON, NORTHANTS, ENGLAND TO ATTEND YET ANOTHER B.H. REUNION, THE 4TH SUCH OCCASION TO BE HELD.
IT HAD BEEN DECIDED SOON AFTER THE 3RD ONE IN 2013 THAT THE VENUE WOULD BE MOVED, AND SO IT WAS, WE MOVED OUT OF TOWN TO T.W.E.
WE HAVE QUITE A FEW FOTOS FROM THE DAY, MOSTLY SUPPLIED BY SANDIE LAMBOURNE, AND THEY ARE ALL SHOWN BELOW, TOGETHER FIRSTLY WITH A LIST OF ALL THOSE THAT ATTENDED.
UNLIKE OTHER REUNIONS, WE HAVENT PUT NAMES TO EVERY PERSON, MOSTLY BECAUSE IT IS SO LATE BEING PUBLISHED, NAMING PEOPLE IS VERY TIME CONSUMING, AND WE WANTED TO GET THIS OUT TO YOU.
WE WILL GO BACK TO IT IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND ADD THE MISSING NAMES, BUT FOR THE MOMENT, IT IS HOW IT IS. IF YOU KNOW ANY MISSING NAMES, PLEASE MAKE CONTACT & ADVISE THROUGH THE WEBSITE ADDRESS.
SO THE LIST OF ATTENDEES COMES FIRST, ALONG WITH A SHOT OF THE REPLICA B.H. RECEPTION SIGN MADE ESPECIALLY FOR THE OCCASION, AN EXACT COPY OF THE SIGN THAT ONCE HUNG ON THE WALL OF LOCATION 13, JUST INSIDE THE WORKS ENTRANCE, WHICH STILL EXISTS, BUT HAS DETERIATED SOMEWHAT, TOO MUCH TO TAKE IT ALONG ON THE DAY.
APOLOGIES FOR THE IMAGE, JUST COULD NOT GET ALL THE NAMES ON ONE LIST, SO IT IS A BIT A PIGS EAR, BUT YOU WILL GET THE GIST.
Now all the fotos, beginning with the introduction from Dennis Tidmarsh, and the main speech from Keith Matthews.
