Well, the proof that such an association was needed was endorsed on the sunny coast of Bournemouth where we held an inaugural meeting and reunion.
Those who didn't stay at the hotel but lived locally came in to swap yarns and reminiscences and 'Sw
ing the Lamp' in general and packed into the inaugural meeting.
Many old ship friendships were renewed, one back 51 years! What will the next reunion, planned for Llandudno and booking fast, bring?
This is a thank you from the Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association first to the newspapers who printed my letters and to say 'They are read, keep up the Letters to the Editor section' and secondly to say thank you to the readers who have ex-RN Electricians in their families who live abroad and have informed them. We have members in the States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and a bit closer, France.
If you, or a member of your family, served in the Royal Navy in the Electrical Department and would like to meet up with your old mess mates, send your name and address, Service number (if you can remember it) and a couple of second class stamps to help association funds to Brian Joy, Membership Secretary, 237a Tithe Farm Court, Alexandra Avenue, South Harrow, Middx. HA2 9DN for details. (Please leave the self adhesive stamps on their backing paper) Or email him on navy.bj3@ntlworld.com
