| The Ex-Apprentices
Association was reformed in 1997 after a gap of many years, so it could
maintain an informal contact with all ex-apprentices interested in any social/
reunion functions. It also provides an annual news magazine 'The Chronic'
to keep members informed of current news, articles from members and other
interesting snippets of information.
Many Reunion Dinners have been held over the past years. One of the earliest recorded was held in 1955 on the retirement of J.F.'Ben' Gunn, Head of the R.A.E Technical College since 1921. The biggest Reunion to date was held in September 2000 with some 750 ex-apprentices and guests attending. Our next Reunion Dinner is planned for the year 2005 to commemorate the 95th Anniversary and the ultimate 'big one' that of our 100th Centenary Celebration in the year 2010, the start of the Apprentice scheme in 1910. |

While this page covers major planned events ex-apprentices are encouraged to also plan and shedule more local events and activities. The very success of the apprenticeship scheme and the achievements of ex-apprentices has resulted in their being literally scattered throughout the world. Hence more frequent local meetings and gatherings would be appropriate. We hope that the WEB-Site will serve as a medium to enable more 'local' groups to meet more often. |
