La réunion All Tests a lieu chaque année en septembre à Pontins, Sand Bay, Weston-Super-Mare.
La réunion réservée aux adultes rassemble les vétérans et leurs familles pour une semaine de vacances. Le comité d'organisation propose des animations toute la semaine et offre un environnement aux anciens collègues pour se réunir et discuter de leur temps lors des tests.
L'événement 2021 s'est déroulé du 20 au 24 septembre 2021. Nous tenons à remercier The Home Place Charities qui nous a permis de payer l'hébergement de 15 anciens combattants et The Not Forgotten qui a payé les animations et le voyage au Fleet Air Arm Museum.

L'événement coûte à partir de 84 £ par personne, ce qui comprend le petit-déjeuner et un repas du soir. Utilisez le formulaire de réservation ci-dessous à partir du 11 octobre 2021.
L'événement est une occasion fantastique de rencontrer d'autres vétérans du nucléaire et de revivre la solitude que nous avons tous dû endurer pendant la pandémie. Nous avons hâte de vous voir tous en septembre 2022. Si vous réservez votre place, un groupe Facebook a été créé qui fournira des mises à jour. Rejoignez-nous en cliquant ici.

OVA PROJECTS
Dr Chris Hill and Dr Jon Hogg presented the Oral History Project and had a great day with the veterans, listening to their views on the project and enjoying a very constructive focus group.
The Big Ideas project dialled in (after a last minute train cancellation) and showed the veterans a preview of the work that they had been undertaking.

mediumship evening
Sian Friend and Bill Nicholson provided an evening of mediumship which many veterans and their families had requested. It was an emotional evening.
memorial bench
In 2021, we unveiled a bench in memory of Sandie Hern and Jim Cooper. In 2022 we added a plaque to the bench in memory of our founder's dad, James Ronald Owen. This year we added a plaque in memory of Doug Hern who sadly passed away in August 2023. The bench was given a coat of Teak Oil to protect it against the winter weather.
NUKED BLOOD SCANDAL
On the 21st of September, the Nuked Blood Scandal Legal Claim was launched.

Special thanks to Sue for the cakes. Janet for selling her handmade goods. Laura for providing the raffle tickets and Quiz trophy. Mark for being our tech support and singing with Marvin.
