I'll be 'out of office' later today, i've been invited to a rather prestigious do in fact the host is arranging transport for me. Now there are going to be some big players present and i'm prepared to ask questions on behalf of the forum (incognito of course). If anyone needs answers to what's going down around the town then this is gonna be a copper bottomed opportunity for you to get some real inside info.....

I have heard Stafford is preparing, in stages, to rival towns like Aldershot and Colchester as a garrison town

If your 'do' is where I think it is then perhaps you could get some numbers?

A 'friend' is currently being headhunted for an army town planning post so the accommodation proposals suggest something large scale.

Also

Swine flu - contingency plans . Is there a bar staff reservist list?

we should be told

 

[basil]

I'm already informed on this one, however i should certainly be able to confirm it later......

 

[basil]

Tony Sumara, hasn't confirmed his non-attendance and it's surely his chance to meet some high ranking and influential locals......

Stafford is I believe only a preferred option but the Army lads are coming from Germany. Houses will need to be built probably along Beaconside but you can read all this in the newspapers you don't need to hobnob. There will be an issue of schools as well.

There's plenty of empty ones up Coton Fields from what I've heard.

A very good soiree indeed, i think one poor chap grew a bit tired of the silly jokes, like 'where's ya badge? and 'are you rounding up a posse? still as a sheriff i'm sure he's heard them all before. A certain politician kept a low profile until the 'cash for questions' type of ribbing came along in a flurry. But they were taken in good spirit. There was a new face in attendance some guy who appears to be adding a loclal footie club to his portfolio he seems to be up to speed with what's going on in and around the town....

All up against the wall when I take over....
