Birmingham Reunion 2022

This year's Birmingham Reunion on Saturday 12 November attracted a great crowd, including some first timers.  The event, organised by Craig Bowen, took place at The Old Contemptibles on Edmund Street close to the centre of Birmingham.  

It was an early afternoon meet-up and 25 former colleagues (plus guests) managed to navigate their way through the crowds in the city centre to the venue (as well as the usual shoppers, on the day Birmingham was holding it's annual Franfurt Christmas market and there were two home football matches that afternoon.

The photos above and below are only a small selection of those taken at the reunion which tell the story of the day (and you know that saying about a picture painting a thousand words!)   Further pictures can be found in the Birmingham Reunion 2022 album.
