Around 60 people attended the event at the wonderful RAF Club in Piccadilly just a few steps from Hyde Park Corner and Green Park tube stations.

Although fewer than in previous years, there were representatives from all parts of the Chevron and Texaco companies, including Marketing, Comptrollers, Upstream, ITD and Texaco Tankships.

We convivial re-connections were made in the RAF Trafalgar Bar beforehand surrounded by portraits of illustrious air force leaders of the major conflicts of the last century and a very satisfying lunch in the similarly decked dining room.

A few continued the imbibing in the Rose & Crown just around the corner after the dinner ended at 4.30.

Neil Jones, CUKPA Vice Chair, took the opportunity to quickly brief the attendees on the activities of the Association and we have picked up a few new members since.

We wish to thank Rod ans Sue Pesch for their stalwart efforts in the organisation and they confirm that they will be organising another for next year.

You can be put on their email list by contacting Rod on rodpesch@aol.com.

If you would like to organise a meal for your area I am sure Rod would be pleased to give some advice.
