SSAFA Lunch

On Friday 17th S/m's Kenn & Anne McKinnon, Anne Cox and Paul Ellis attended the SSAFA Lunch given in Graham House, Whitfield Road, Govan (formally HMS Graham RNR). The day was a great success with a two course lunch and entertainment. Our members had good luck by coming away with many prizes from the tombola.

Remembrance Sunday

Seven of our members attended the Remembrance Parade in George Square on Sunday 12th. There was a very good turnout for this event. S/m Chris Lord paraded the standard and S/m Anne Cox laid the wreath. After the parade we all adjourned to the City Chambers for a civic reception hosted by the Lord Provost Eva Bolander. Some of our members took up the invitation to go to HMS Dalriada for lunch and a few wets.
