Retirement Jon (Bomber ) Harris

Firstly I apologise if you do not know me but got a generic list off a few places…

Anyway, I am due to retire at Midnight December 6th, after joining the old bill back in the olden days…Sept 1981….

Not sure how I blagged 36 years, when I was sacked as a Cadet 105, by C/I Ogden for a freakish dart accident..…. thankfully Sgt Geoff Pearce saved me… foolish of him no doubt.. 

So through the St Ann’s – Pc 1346, The Miners Dispute, Carlton (not the editor of the Carlton Courier), Bermuda – Pc 569, Beach Squad –Narcotics, Back to Blighty – Pc 715, Oxclose Lane… Bermuda to Bestwood ?…. SOU-FS-TSG-TST etc. etc… The Unit, Custody and finally the Control Room…

Representing Notts/Bermuda Police at Football, Cricket, Golf, Snooker, Darts and obviously Rugby… One of Notts Police only INTERNATIONAL rugby player… as featured in March 2003 Rugby World… not sure I have ever mentioned that…?

Regardless… it has been an ABSOLUTE blast the majority of the time… we have all had highs/lows but the ups by far outweigh some of the rubbish… I have worked with some top top quality people, sadly some of whom are no longer with us but it has been a gas… and I feel honoured to have been a part of a real band of brothers and sisters…

Anyway, I ramble….. some of you may know I like a little drink every now and then…. So I am having an elegant soirée ? is that how it is spelt…? Will be a couple of quid behind the bar and a few nibbles…

So my good lady Sally and I …

Would like to invite you to the following gig…

It is from 6pm on Thursday 23rd of November 2017 (cheaper than December rates – so a few days before I officially leave)

It is at The Riverside Gallery – Brewhouse and Kitchen, Trent Bridge – NG2 2GS

In old money, that is upstairs at was formerly known as The Town Arms and then called The Aviary…. Trent Bridge gives you the clue…

Please feel free to pass it to those who you think may want to come…

You can obviously ignore if not coming but if you are can you reply to this email – by text 07725210700 or email tobomber715569@yahoo.com

Just so I can get an idea if catering for 2 or ten…

Many Thanks

Bomber Harris
