SUPRAD Oldtimers

 

The Supplementary Radio System (SUPRAD) Oldtimers Association has been together since 1994. At one of CFS Leitrim’s reunions in September 1994 one of our older retirees asked why we did not have an Oldtimers Reunion for all former Communications Rsch 291 retirees. Myself and Butch Whitlaw thought it would be a good idea. So as not to interfere with Leitrim’s re-unions, we decided that June would be a better time for us to gather.

  • To provide an avenue for friends to remain in contact;
  • Raise money for charities;
  • Conduct Annual Memorial Ceremony at Gloucester Cairn.

Members meet for an informal lunch and meeting, “The GAGGLE,” the second Tuesday of, February, April, June, August, October and December at noon in the CFS Leitrim All Ranks Mess. All are welcome! 

We host an Annual Reunion the last week of June at CFS Leitrim, and other locations in the area to renew old friendships.
