Standard Dedication/Trafalgar Day Service

On Trafalgar Day in the Glasgow Cathedral we integrated the Trafalgar/Seafarers Service with the dedication of our new Standard. The day went well with a good turn out from our members. In attendance there were standards from all over Scotland and from the Parachute Association. There was a civic reception held in St Mungo’s Museum where Bailie Green the City Chamber representative gave a speech and our chairman gave the response. Our two Standard bearers S/ms David Evans (old Standard) and David Carlin (New standard) did extremely well with their respective escorts, Jack Duncanson, Frank Taylor, David Trimble and Chris Lord. Thanks to S/m F Halliday for training them. Well done lads.

Trafalgar Dinner

The visit to the Arrochar Hotel went reasonably well the food was good and everyone enjoyed the entertainment provided by our good friend Raymond. There were a few hitches to the start of the weekend. All were resolved. We will await the responses from our members as to next year’s venue.
