Paris 2008 The Regimental trip to Paris, despite a few set backs: Peter being a day out with his timings having to fly a full speed to catch the coach at Thurock, Chris Perko having to stay at home, grounding the front of the coach trying to get off the ferry, knocking over historical bollards at Malmaison, radio controlled clocks resetting to English time, was an excellent event with some 30 members taking part. Facing Redcoats is one thing, but the Regiment was scattered by the watering sprays at Malmaison. The day was spent mounting guard, looking round the Chateau and finishing off with drill in front of the Chateau. The evening was rounded off with a Regimental meal in Paris. Saturday saw the Regiment scattered over Paris, seeing who could wear out the most shoe leather. James Brindley returned with the buy of the day, a letter signed by Marshal Ney. Sunday, pack the coach, it's much easier without 10 tents. A morning trip to Versailles, then the long journey home. Despite the disappointment of not being able to camp at Malmaison and the resultant shortening of the trip, everyone appears to have enjoyed the trip. Hopefully more will follow. Keith
