List of Members who attended the 2007 Mini Reunion with some pictures taken during the weekend.  It has to be said that while all members enjoyed the weekend, it was no thanks to the Hotel and its Owners, as it hardly came up to the standard of Fawlty Towers, so other associations beware before you book your reunion in Eastbourne.
A warm note of thanks to the RNOCC of Eastbourne, who made us all most welcome and laid on a small buffet for us on Saturday evening, with some wonderful key board skills displayed by the organist.  A few made it to the Stage area and gave their versions of various songs, including our Hon Sec, which may explain why it poured with rain on Sunday!  A very generous David Judge plied between the Hotel and the RNOCC taking those who were unable to walk to the venue, and unpaid I may add.....thanks David.
