Fall In & Patch Up 12th June 2027
A Reunion Event for Past Members of the Royal Army Medical Corps Units
Some bonds are forged in the most extraordinary of circumstances, and none more so than those made serving in or with the RAMC.
Fall In & Patch Up is a chance to dust off the memories, raise a glass, and reconnect with the comrades who shared those unforgettable years by your side.
Join us at the wonderful Last Post, Don War Memorial Museum & Bar in Stockton-on-Tees, a truly unique venue dedicated to honouring our armed forces past and present. With great food, good drinks, and even better company, this promises to be a night to remember.
Tickets are £15 and cover a buffet and entertainment for the day, so all you need to bring is yourself and a few good stories.
Choosing next year’s venue came down to two things.
First, we wanted to take the event out of its usual southern circuit and bring it somewhere different, somewhere that reflects the Association’s reach across the whole country.
Second, there’s nowhere quite like it. The Last Post Memorial Bar and The Don War Memorial Museum & Hub, in Thornaby, Stockton-on-Tees, is one of the most remarkable venues in the country for anyone connected to the Armed Forces. What began in 2011 as a single remembrance wall, built by landlady Julie Cooper, has grown into a cosy pub downstairs and a sprawling museum upstairs, housing thousands of donated military items, from WWI medals and uniforms to personal family photographs, and famed for its display of over 70,000 poppies covering the ceilings and walls.
It’s also a genuine community hub: free Sunday lunches for veterans, school tours, and regular regimental reunions, all run as a non-profit “safe haven” for history, camaraderie and military respect, the perfect home for our event.
