Event

The Meeting Room has been completely refurbished and looked really good.

On Saturday evening we had a hectic and worrying hour or so when both of the projectors belonging to the venue failed to operate properly on three of our laptops despite the efforts of the staff.
However, an Assistant Manager produced an HDMI lead with which we managed to connect Bernie's Windows laptop to the beautiful flat screen TV which has been installed since the last Reunion.   Phew!
Thereafter, we enjoyed the customary "slide show" of nostalgic photos and videos of personnel and ships etc from the "good old days".

Former PSNC Officers and family who have "Crossed the Bar" since our 2016 Reunion

• Ian James Kelty. Passed away peacefully in hospital on 31 December 2016, aged 79 years.
• John McCombie. I was informed it was reported in the "Gordenstoun News" that he died in 2016.   Sorry, further details unavailable at present.

I am very grateful to Andy Parker who managed to take a number of photos of some of those who attended on Friday.   Sorry, I was unable to do so on Saturday owing to problems with the projectors.
