Seafarer's Service

The Seafarer's Service was held in the Glasgow Cathedral and attended by several members of our branch. We formed up along with several sea cadet units and the Royal Marines Band, Scotland to be inspected by Commodore Charles Stevenson RN (Naval Regional Officer), before retiring to the cathedral for the service conducted by The Revd Dr Laurence Whitley MA, BD, PhD. After the service we retired to the concourse for a short concert by the Royal Marines Band.

Standard bearers:

City of Glasgow RNA: Brian MacKenzie.
Deep Sea Rescue Tugs: Francis Brown.
Sea Cadets: Callum Laber.

S/M Joan Lowe's sentence 21 10 10

S/M Joan Lowe (social secretary) was brought up before the committee on charges of willfully disobeying them by continuing to do things over and above her duties. There being no mitigating circumstances the chairman and committee members had no option but to sentence her to LIFE MEMBERSHIP.

Congratulations to her for her long service to the City of Glasgow RNA.

HMS Duncan Launch 11 Oct 2010

Several members attended the launch of HMS Duncan a type 45 destroyer built by the BAE Goven ship yard. It was a bright sunny day which added to the thrill when she slipped majestically into the river Clyde. The Duncan will be associated with the City of Dundee. This is the sixth and last of this type. The others were Daring, Dauntless, Diamond, Dragon and Defender. The Defender will be associated with the City of Glasgow.
