However, due to personal circumstances, Paul Gower stepped down as Chairman and proposed Brian Conran who was seconded by Ian Hurley and voted in. Bob Taylor is now writing-up the constitution, which has been ratified by all members in attendance. Paul Gower took the minutes.


This year's reunion it will take place at the St George Hotel, Chatham on Friday 21st October and departing on Sunday 23rd October 2011.


All rooms have a sea view across the Medway, we have our own private function room plus music.

It was also discussed if future reunions should be moved around the country so they will be of benefit to all (e.g. Chatham this year, Devonport next year and Liverpool the year after). These were just suggestions and are not written-in-stone. Suggestions are welcome on this subject.

As secretary and shipmate, Ian Hurley looks forward to hearing from one-and-all and to seeing everyone at this year's reunion.
