Annual General Meeting Because of the Coronavirus, we've decided to hold a 'virtual' Annual General Meeting this year. It will now be conducted by correspondence, either electronic or physical. Please do raise any issues you have for the meeting on the form available on the Calling Notice, whether it's to raise a question or concern - or even to volunteer to join the committee! The Calling Notice for the AGM is being circulated to members by email but can also be downloaded here.

OA Sword 2019 We're delighted to advise that the OA Sword this year was presented at summer divisions to Lt Dave Haw by First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Tony Radakin CB, ADC. The sword was kindly donated by Captain Charles Crawford, a previous Captain of HMS Collingwood. You can find the full citation for this award here.

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
