Just as a matter of interest, I remember at the Reunion in '89, John Ware decided that all future annual gatherings should take place on the nearest weekend to 22nd.Sept. Can anyone say why/when this was changed?

Been away a while so a little late on this one. Yes Rab you are right, and possibly Andy is to(HaHa) for some reason and with no prior notice we have returned to October as it always was, the original date was always the first weekend in October, but as long as the tradition continues lets keep attending, see you next year all being well.
