PSNC Officers Reunion 2011
The 13th full Reunion took place on
Friday 11th & Saturday 12th March 2011
Page last updated 3rd April 2011
The regular venue - the Packet Steamer, Netherton, Liverpool - was the venue for the Thirteenth Annual Reunion (but would be the 14th including the original with four of us on a a trip up The Manchester Ship Canal in August 1997).
It was the usual casual event for ex-PSNC sea-going officers ie. Captains, Deck, Engine, Electrical and Radio Officers, Pursers, Chief and Second Stewards and their spouses, partners and "significant others".
Friday evening was a get-together over a few pints but on Saturday night we arranged a photo slide show which after a lot of pre-planning and prparation went off with only a minor hitch or two!
Attended:-
If I have missed anyone out or made a mistake, please do tell me!
(I had to apologise to Cyril Davie this year as his name had been omitted from the list for 2010 and his wife wanted to know where he had been. As a result he brought both sons along as witnesses and chaperones!)
