Tarzan Boy Darren and Steve Fury organised the sixth of the now twice-yearly British Professional Wrestlers' Reunions in the Leeds area, once again at The Oulton Institute.

The event enabled wrestlers past and present, their families & friends and invited guests to meet over a few drinks and a buffet in a relaxed atmosphere.
