If you were in the Royal Navy and wanted to meet up and find old shipmates, then get in touch with your old Ship’s Association and attend one of the reunions.
It's a way to relive the camaraderie they once knew. At the moment I have over 60 Royal Navy Ship’s Association Reunions listed, complete with the first point of contact.
If you are an ex-Royal Navy reader then drop me an email at mike.crowe1@btinternet.com or royalnavyreunions@gmail.com with brief details of your service and who you are looking for and from which ship, and I will send the latest list through, along with the latest monthly news sheet full of messages.
This goes to over 400 Ship’s Associations and Royal Naval Association Branches. All done by email so no printing, stationery, or postage and subs, etc.
And if you served on one of the 12 Blackwood Class Frigates, then you may be interested in the Type 14 Blackwood Class Association that has been launched and their first reunion organised.
