Calling all former members

Next year The JNI celebrates its 90th anniversary and it has never been in a stronger position across all 4 Sections. This will soon be added with the opening of our Squirrel Section for 4-6 years in the new year. There will be a full programme of events to celebrate throughout the year, offering something for everyone. There will be youth activities for our current members around our theme of land, sea and air and for our former members an array of events; Italian street cafe night of former films and slides of our expeditions and camps, family fun day at Lapwing Lodge and reunion dinner later in the year. All the events and dates will be announced in January.

We would like to extend the memories throughout 2022 with a weekly social media post involving as many of our former members as possible. We would ask you to share your memories covering one of the questions below, with a maximum of 100 words, including what years you were a member. We also would ask that you send in a current photograph and if possible one of your times in The JNI.

• What is your most memorable time/event in the JNI
• Do you have any short stories of your time
• What is your memory of your time in The Bield

We would like to reach out to as many former members as possible, so please pass this link/email on to any you may know. If you have any contact details, preferably email addresses, to give all our former members the opportunity to join us next year please pass them on to me.

Please send in your memories to stephen@thejni.org.uk or if you would like to hear about next year’s events. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards
