ROYAL MARINES PHYSICAL TRAINING BRANCH REUNION 2016

Dear fellow Clubswinger,

It is my great pleasure, as the current AIPTRM, to invite youto the forthcoming Physical Training Branch Reunion, which will take place over the weekend of 14-16 Oct,2016. The Commanding Officer and RSM have very kindly agreed to let us use the facilities at the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines.

As always,our weekend will be an informal affairto cement the important business of renewing old friendships, sharing memories and confirming to our partners our physical excellence, despite the arthritic knees, backs and hips etc.…!

The PT Reunion (4-course) dinner and entertainment will be held in the Function Room adjoining the Gymnasium (formerly known as the Saville Room). For the first time since 2008 I have unfortunately had to increase the price slightly to meet increased staff costs and ever increasing food and drink costs so the cost for the evening will be £40.00 per headto cover essential costs.

Please note that the Function Room has a maximum capacity of only 140 people, therefore places will be reserved on a first come-first served basis and your place will only be confirmed upon receipt of the fee.Unfortunately no verbal bookings will be entered into, due to a large number of last minute non-attendances at previous Reunion’s which deny places to others.

CTCRM is, as always, extremely busy and accommodation is very limited, in fact as it stands there is no accommodation available in the SNCO’s messso early enquiries/bookings are highly recommended. The point of contact for the Sergeants Mess, (if you want to chance your hand for a cancellation),is (01392) 414311 and for the Officers Mess (01392) 414104/414426/414284.

Every one of our reunions isa memorable experience and they remain the envy of allother Brancheswithin the Corps. I urge you all to make the effort to attend thisspecial occasion!

Theprogramme of events, (which is subject to tweaking!) meal menu and proforma for the weekend are enclosed.To ensure that your place is confirmed, please send your remittance to meas soon as possible or no later thanMon 19 Sep2016at the latest. You are welcome to invite non-PT guests and please can I ask that the 2016PT Reunion details are passed as far and wide as possible for maximum attendance. We look forward to seeing you!
