Our Chairman Kenn McKinnon and Secretary Brian MacKenzie attended the RBLS/Edinburgh & East of Scotland, Inter-Association Games Day at the Tramways Bowling Club, Pilrig Street, Edinburgh. We were part of an RNA team in the bowls and dominoes contests along with two teams from the WRNS. We managed to reach the quarter finals in the bowls where a team from the Royal Artillery Association knocked us out by 1 point. There was food laid on with sandwiches during the afternoon and Curry/Stovies at 1800. These went down well with quite a few singing gingers. A very good day was had by all.
On Wednesday 22nd August four of our members attended the 100 year commemoration of the launch of HMS Hood at the West College, Clydebank Which has been built on the old John Brown ship yards where she was built. Rear Admiral Philip Wilcocks CB DSC DL gave a talk on her life in the RN. Commander William Sutherland RN gave a talk on her construction.
