I had planned to get this newsletter written and circulated in April/May but held off until the D-Day 80 plans were firmed up. This took longer than expected and needed a lot of input from us (see story in the PDF file) and then the whole thing was suddenly upon us, so this will be a report of the event rather than the plan for the event.
Features:
- Commodore Laurie Hopkins LVO
- Coastal Forces Squadron Dinner
- Southwick House Map Room
- D Day 80 Planning
- Freedom Flame arrives
- Hornet SSC 60th
- D Day 80th
- D Day 1944
With D Day 80 behind us we still have a busy year ahead. Unfortunately, the Summer Barbeque at Hornet had to be cancelled due to low numbers, but over the next few weekends we have events for the RN Volunteer Cadet Corps with 8 young cadets spending the weekend on Medusa. In the Autumn we have port visits to Lymington and Bucklers Hard as well as Heritage open days, a scattering of ashes, Trafalgar Night and Remembrance. Medusa would not look so smart and none of these events would be possible without the brilliant team of volunteers who support Medusa. To you all, my thanks and the tanks of the trustees.
