GENERAL INFORMATION
Our
association evenings are open to all former TA personnel and it is hoped
that news of this new opportunity to meet up with old friends will
spread by 'word of mouth'. With that in mind, former Squadron
personnel are strongly encouraged to pass on the news of the
formation of the association to any other old comrades.
Once
the association has established a more formal footing
more detailed information will be published here.
If
you have any questions regarding the association please feel free
to contact the secretary Bob Dallaway bobdallaway@blueyonder.co.uk
or contact the PSAO (Captain Len Read) at 210 Squadron
at 151TPT-210-PSAO@mod.uk .
The
committee would like to thank Major Gotobed, Captain
Read
and the rest of the Squadron for their kind support with the
formation of the association.

ASSOCIATION HISTORY

April 2009
On Sunday 19th April 2009 at Princess Royal House a group of former
210 Squadron members gathered to discuss the idea of forming
an 'old comrades' association. A decision was taken to assemble
a temporary committee which would deal with the formation
of the association and it had its first meeting that afternoon.

allow
the association to meet at SHQ on drill nights. Therefore, the
committee has decided that the association should hold social
evenings at SHQ on agreed dates from 8:30pm.
