Hi Paddy
I do not know about any "official" reunions at 48 Sq but we have met up a few times for a piss up. We did so with Pete Easy's silver wedding anniversary, then a group of us got together in 2004, 2008 and last October.
Ginge (Carl) Burton was there and I believe he even mentioned your name. Joe Booth and Joan Easy (Pete's wife) are talking about a proper reunion. Since I live near New York (and not the other 'York'), I'll be happy to give you contact info.
Regards,
Marlon (Ripon 1965 - 1971)
Alright Harry
How's it going Harry, me and Bri Wareham see each other about every week, he only lives down the road, as Marlon said we had a meet up about three years ago and we got there along with Twiggy, there was one again last year but I was away. We lost Jimmy Riddler and Ray Alison a few years ago Des Quinn last year and Tiny Field passed away on New Years Eve.
I've put a few pics up on the site and I've got a few more to do. I'm seeing Barney in a couple of weeks and he's in touch with Mick Sindel so with a bit of luck there might be more that you think up for a reunion.

Had half an hour sat in the sun outside Pete's house yesterday having a chat. I told him about this site but he doesn't have internet.
He said to remember him to you both. Got chatting about Dad Leonard.
meet up
Hello Harry I was in Aden 66/67 and returned to Ripon, I remember Brian Wareham and Twiggy, it was Twiggy who tought me cribbage. After Aden I went out to Gib with 2 troop and I knocked about with Pete Adams. I was Sqn medic for a while before the Sqn went out to Anguilla.
