Thu 19 Mar 2020 — CANCELLATION OF 2020’s TEN TORS EVENT
A statement from the Director Ten Tors, Colonel Neville Holmes MBE:

‘It is with regret that I announce that this year’s Ten Tors event will not go ahead due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision has been made in line with current Government and clinical advice. I know that this will be a great disappointment to many however, given that safety is always our number one priority with Ten Tors, I hope it will not be a surprise. Although this year is the 60th Anniversary of Ten Tors, next year will now see the 60th event and so we look forward to celebrating this milestone with you all then. In the meantime, I would like to congratulate all those who have achieved so much whilst training for this year’s event and thank the hardworking teachers, leaders, parents and others who have enabled them to do so.’

All the best for 2025 from Perth. We have a new series on TV here called beyond paradise. The two main characters live in Leo's house

Sorry to report that Tom (Taff) Evans (Sgt Perm Staff) passed away last Sunday. Tom lived close to me and I saw him regularly. His daughter Nikki Has asked me to put on his funeral arrangements. Tom's funeneral will be at Torquay Crematorium, Hele Rd TQ2 7QG on Tuesday 24th July at 1300hrs followed by a wake at The Wellington Inn Fore St, Ipplepen, Newton Abbot TQ12 5RH. Nikki would like to see any ex-boys at Tom's funeral.

Here's wishing all old soldiers the best -look after yourselves.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2025. I am sadly now in a care home here in Germany near Hannover having had both legs the knee

Hi all.
Here’s hoping you are all safe and well in these harrowing times.
My wife, Val, and I are now in our 17th day of self isolation as we re both considered to be “vulnerable”.
We both sincerely hope you all stay safe and well and are able to meet again in the not to distant future.
To you all, Be lucky and stay well.
Regards Lofty & Val Foster

Further to last message lost both from below the knees now in a wheelchair

Rick,
Sorry to read of Taff Evans' death. We exchanged Xmas Cards for these last 15 years or so since we met each other again at a Taunton reunion. And I popped in to see him & his wife Eileen about 2 years ago when attending a Denbury weekend reunion. A super chap who thought the best of everyone. (For those who don't know, Taff became a prison officer and stayed at the camp after it became HMP Channing Wood).

I shall be with my tricycling group doing the Tarka Trail on Saturday 21 July, departing Bideford on the 23rd. I shall try and attend his funeral on the 24th.

Dave and all.
Never been through anything like this or seen anything like it. I have to say at the beginning I thought it was being overplayed. Now it is a major problem and shows just how vulnerable as a species we are. I have a feeling when this is all over the world will be a very different place.
Take care all of you and follow the rules. We will hopefully beat it but when I have no idea.
