Kitty and the Kiribati Dancers
Marvin with Alison, Sue and Susan

BOOK NOW FOR 2024

110 FREE PLACES FUNDED BY THE OFFICE FOR VETERANS AFFAIRS HAVE NOW BEEN TAKEN. YOU CAN STILL BOOK FOR £94.50.

Воссоединение All Tests Reunion проводится ежегодно в сентябре в Понтинсе, Сэнд-Бэй, Уэстон-Супер-Мэр.

Встреча только для взрослых собирает ветеранов и их семьи на недельный отпуск. Организационный комитет устраивает развлекательные мероприятия на всю неделю и дает возможность старым коллегам собраться вместе и обсудить время, проведенное на тестах.

Мероприятие 2021 года будет проходить с 20 по 24 сентября 2021 года.  Мы хотели бы поблагодарить благотворительные организации «Дом вместо благотворительных», которые позволили нам оплатить проживание 15 ветеранов, и «Незабытых», которые оплатили развлечения и поездку в Музей авиации Флота.

 

2022 пройдет с 19 по 23 сентября 2022 года.

Мероприятие стоит от 84 фунтов стерлингов на человека, включая завтрак и ужин. Используйте форму бронирования ниже с 11 октября 2021 года.

Мероприятие - фантастическая возможность встретиться с другими ветеранами-ядерщиками и заново пережить одиночество, которое нам всем пришлось пережить во время пандемии. Мы с нетерпением ждем встречи с вами в сентябре 2022 года. Если вы зарезервируете свое место, будет создана группа в Facebook, которая будет предоставлять обновления. Присоединяйтесь, нажав здесь.

OVA PROJECTS

Dr Chris Hill and Dr Jon Hogg presented the Oral History Project and had a great day with the veterans, listening to their views on the project and enjoying a very constructive focus group.

The Big Ideas project dialled in (after a last minute train cancellation) and showed the veterans a preview of the work that they had been undertaking.

memorial bench

In 2021, we unveiled a bench in memory of Sandie Hern and Jim Cooper. In 2022  we added a plaque to the bench in memory of our founder's dad, James Ronald Owen. This year we added a plaque in memory of Doug Hern who sadly passed away in August 2023. The bench was given a coat of Teak Oil to protect it against the winter weather.
