Thank you Hack for the post and just to confirm it is in relation to the 2021 Reunion.
bjh99, the Essex Reunion has been going for 3 years and was set up for wrestlers who wrestled/reside in that area to attend. I am unaware if they have any plans to allow fans in or whether they are happy to keep it as it is.
As the years go on I think that it will be the fans who will ensure that the Reunions do continue albeit at a much reduced attendance as they now get. Sadly, despite everyones best efforts there are not enough present day wrestlers who have any interest in attending Reunions, certainly not enough to keep them at a level which Reunions are experiencing at the present time.
The Essex Reunion is held annually in October organised by Neil Evans, who wrestled as Tiny Tom Thumb. As far as I know it is only open to wrestlers and their guests. They have never provided us with any information of the event which is why it has not been reported on Heritage.
Thanks to Hack and Ken.
Never knew this event existed.
Thanks Ken. We've now noticed reference to 2020 rather than 2021. Put it down to old age. Well, old age, beer and wine.

Thanks Hack, I did wonder.
They may have to open it up a bit to fans if it continues.
I wonder what the take-up of fans would be.

I read this report, which was very interesting. Lots of names that I didn't recognise as most of them were beyond my era.
I had never heard of an Essex reunion.
Please tell me where it was held.
