Is Pete still alive.

My Skydive for the Downs Syndrome Association has been put back again until 21st March 2021 which is their 51st Anniversary. As you know my Grandson Matthew was born with Downs Syndrome and i am still looking for sponsorship for my 15000ft Tandem Skydive. For those of you that have already sponsored me a big thank you and rest assured that the jump is still taking place.If anyone else would like to sponsor me please go to https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Rod Le Couilliard or https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rodney-le-couilliard where you will find my story.

As his son I have done my Dad a dis-service when I updated Jim. Peter Allen (my father) in fact did 25 years in the regulars finishing as a Staff Sergeant. He then joined the TA in a full time role and knocked up a total of 43 years to Queen and Country. it was in the TA that he was made up to Warrant Officer. Legend of a Father and Grandfather he has survived a triple heart bypass and is now fit as a fiddle !

I am disposing of my 8'x 8' greenhouse and if anyone wants it, they're welcome to it for free. It's green alluminum with 4mm toughened glass. I don't use it much although have raised loads of tomato bushes this season. If anyone wants it, they have to dismantle and take away. And once started it has to be finished, no delays in between as I'm clearing the site. The glass is heavy and in long sections 5' x 2'. If no luck by end of July, I will dispose of it into a skip.

Hi
Please give Dad, Pete, my regards he may remember me. We joined the same day and in Junior Wing together, and then to our troops. Where about dose he live.

Regards
Mike.

Oops, re: my previous message of 11 July I've had a re-think and will keep the greenhouse for now.

Does anyone know if our old Troop Sergeant HG (Bob) Arnold is still with us? If affirmative, any idea how to contact him?

Barnsley Reunion 2020 Hotel Bookings - Have just checked with the Holiday Inn Hotel to cancel my booking for this October. Thanks the Jim 'Chalky' White he has already cancelled all bookings for those who had booked a room.

Denbury Days has been contacted by the Governor of Channing Woods Prison (old Denbury Camp site) about a plaque etc being created by the inmates commemorating the old Denbury Camp.
Arrangements/Meetings have begun to be arranged to action the project. This will be called or referred to as the ‘Channing Wood Project’. Presently Peter Whitfield (who lives in NA) is ‘leading’ with this with the help of others. An initial meeting has been arranged with the Prison Governor next Tuesday (14 Aug).
Information will be updated via this the Denbury Days website and the Denbury Days Facebook site.

Tony Gask, thanks for your post about the Barnsley rooms all cancelled down, thanks to Chalky's kindness. However, as the hotel cancelled the booking due to the Covid restrictions it must have been obvious to them we wouldn't be needing the rooms. Thanks all the same both.
