HMS COLLINGWOOD NEWS

Car Passes The security team at HMS COLLINGWOOD have advised us that the use of Amenity Car passes is being ceased from 1 July 2019. Unfortunately, this means that all OA members who currently hold a Car Pass will need to collect a new one. Derek Coombes is trying to organise this as a matter of urgency and will be in touch with you in due course. Sorry for the hassle!

OA Summer Ball - Cancelled It is with deep regret that we have to announce that the Summer Ball has been cancelled. We required around 130 to make it viable, even then it would incur a large subsidy from the OA funds, but we have fallen well short. Currently hovering around 80 it would need a subsidy of over £2500. We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment for those who have booked, especially to guests, and would like to thank you for your continued support. The OA committee will look at future formats to see how we can put on similar events but at reduced costs. We do hope this will not deter you from attending our premier function of Trafalgar Ladies Night on Fri 25th Oct 2019

The Collingwood Bust The Bronze Bust of Admiral Lord Collingwood that the OA presented to the Wardroom in memory of Bill Legg and other past members was unveiled after our AGM on 9^th June. Attended by around 90 members, families and guests, Bill's daughters Sonia and Karen unveiled the bust. The bust is a copy of the very fine life-size bronze bust both on the island of Menorca overlooking the harbour where the Admiral's ships would have anchored, and at the Town Hall in Morpeth. It was sculptured by Helen Ridehalgh, a highly regarded artist from Devon. You can find out lots more and see pictures in Adrian's article about the bust by clicking here or on the RN website here
