Now available: Confirmed Timetable Of Events for 30th June.
We are using the Ashbourne Hotel in North Killingholme again as the centre of
activity for those attending the July reunion.
The dates of the 2012 Annual Reunion are Friday 29th and Saturday 30th June 2012.
Please remember that this year the formal dinner will be on the FRIDAY evening.
Note that many will still want to stay over for the Saturday evening as well, and while there
will no formal dinner on the Saturday, there will be the opportunity to dine informally
in the Bistro (must be booked in advance).
Should you wish to reserve your room(s) you can now do so at the discounted "550" rate
by quoting "Kentish, 550" at the time of booking.
Rooms are cancellable until 24 hours before arrival without penalty.
As a result of high interest this year, with many folk associated with Bomber Command also
visiting the UK for the Unveiling in Green Park just a day or two earlier, the hotel is
almost fully booked, so you are strongly encouraged to book without delay.
Should you not be able to reserve a room the April Newsletter also contains a list of other
hotels in the area (and local taxi companies) should you need to look elsewhere.
As usual email the web-site if you require from information (email address below).
Key points:
1. Members should specify 550 Sqdn Assoc when booking.
This will trigger the "550" discount on room rates.
2. Details about evening meal arrangements for Friday night, and a schedule
for the weekend events in general, have now been published in the April 2012 Newsletter;
booking forms with menu choices are available in the Newsletter.
3. Members should discuss accessibility issues at the time of booking.
4. Members should check the terms and conditions of booking when reserving their room.
Expressions of interest in this option can be routed through this website to an association
member who will be happy to act as the contact point for putting them in touch with each other.
