Reunion Message from Keith:

Well, all to soon the reunion was here and gone, but what an enjoyable occasion it was, my feedback tells me that all enjoyed it immensely and the grub was superb. To my great relief after all my coaxing Bob Bogan made it there along with Peter Slade and several of the Aden gang (my words not theres).

My thanks go to David Eliot,Lawrie Hodges and Debbie Young for all their work and credit has to go to all who attended because I thought the atmosphere was really good, I must make a mention here of a couple of faces. I have not had time to put captions to all the pics but one family that impressed me was Rodney Burke's family, his wife and two sons, who were intent on getting Rodney there, and boy did he enjoy it. This is what reunion is all about, renewing friendships and sharing those memories, we all remember as young soldiers being told you are now a member of the regimental family, and smiling "Oh yes", however now all these years later, the Regimental Family is there working hard and holding us all together for all time.

I also cannot fail to be impressed with the spirit generated by all ranks, you will know that mostly we all use first names but never fail to remember and respect each other and the rank, the title being used where necessary.

Now at long last the SCLI book is available, I will be advertising it on the three websites I run and telling the world of a regiment that only officially lasted nine years, but I think they got it all wrong, WE ARE STILL THERE, 1st BATTALION SCLI VETERANS.

Feedback

Bob Bogan:

Many thanks to all who worked so hard to make the SCLI/LI Reunion Taunton 2006 first class in every way. It was so obvious our regimental bonds and comradeship are as strong as ever.

Hugh Fox:

Congratulations, great pics and first class reunion. I will try and scan some more SCLI pics but they are on 35mm slides that are over 40 years old.!!

Keith John White:

Thanks for all the pics from the reunion for all who could not get there

Dave Smith 11:

Once again Taunton did us proud.A sincere thank you to all the team.It was good to see all those guys with smiles on there faces as wide as a barn door.Roll on 07.

John Pover:

Another wonderful reunion for which I would extend my sincere thanks to all those responsible. Even more faces from the past were in attendance which can only serve to support the event. Long may the SCLI/LI Reunion at Taunton continue, and from down here in Cornwall may I once again thank our comrades in Somerset.
