PT BRANCH REUNION 2012

  
Over 120 former and serving PTI’s gathered at CTCRM on the weekend of 12-14 October 2012, for the bi-annual PT Branch Reunion. Former PTI’s and their guests travelled from far and wide to join their serving counterparts for a weekend of current training information, comradeship and fun.

PT REUNION CLUB NEWS UPDATE:


Over 120 former and serving PTI’s gathered at CTCRM on the weekend of 12-14 October 2012, for the bi-annual PT Branch Reunion. Our special guests included our Hon President (former PT&SO and CGRM) Maj Gen Garry Robison CB (Retd.), Lt Col Neil Willson RM (former PT&SO and CO of CTCRM) and his wife Melonie, Bill Mathews (who qualified as a PTI in 1942) and Charles Forrest (90) former PTI and Normandy Veteran.

Former PTI’s and their guests travelled from far and wide to join their serving counterparts for a weekend of current training information, comradeship and fun. The serving PTI’s showed us the marvellous new Parker Hall for rehabilitating injured recruits and also showed how our very high standards are being maintained with a superb display of Swedish PT exercises performed by the most recent PT2 Course. Many attendees commented that this was one of the best PT Reunions ever held!

During the evening celebrations a special memorial trophy (Trog's Trophy) was presented to the serving PT Branch by Mrs Barbara Royle in memory of her late husband Trog and remembered by many of us (See seperate details).
