This pil- grimage was planned down to the last detail by Pat Morgan but sadly he died only a week prior to our departure - everything went according to plan and it was a wonderful nostalgic return for us who had left Lothian Barracks some forty or fifty years previously - we walked on what used to be the parade ground now bisected by shrubbery - the swimming pool has been filled in but the Gym is in first class condition as are the ones former- 1y used as the Naffi, stables and dining room - these are now classrooms. The Officers Mess is a place of worship and the squadron blocks now have balconies and TV dishes in place-a far cry from the fifties.Lothian Barracks is now home to Asylum seekers and displaced persons. In addition to Pat we lost two former bandsmen, Gerry Barker and Maurice Weighman-somehow we cannot go from one year to the neXt without losing someone. The 9th Reunion will be held at the Monkbar Hotel in York on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the 15th, 16th and 17th of September this year. Please contact Wm Denis Haydock on 0161 764 0186. |
