On the occasion of the 39th Annual Birthday Dinner, all former and current paratroopers are once again invited to share fond memories.  All airborne members are encouraged to attend this special event.

We will also have the honour to have amongst us Mr. B.C. Robinson  who jumped on D-Day and on Op Varsity and later became the First RSM of 2 CDO  when the AB Regt was formed in 1968.  Additionally, there will be 3 other WW II veterans who landed on D-Day, with us on that evening.
 
For this special occasion, we will be raffling a framed, limited edition numbered print of the Op Varsity painting by Roger Chabot.  It is signed by the four jumpers  who are depicted in the print.
