The Collingwood Bust - Thank You You may remember a call going out in December 2018 for donations to create a Bronze Bust of Admiral Lord Collingwood that the OA will present to the Wardroom in memory of Bill Legg and other past members. We're delighted to advise that we've raised enough money for both the bust and a plinth on which it will sit. Paul Sutton has kindly offered to design and make the plinth. 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. The project has started - the photograph shows the bust cast in wax, ready to create the bronze.

We Will Remember Them! Chairman, Commodore Adrian Whyntie, laid a wreath at the remembrance ceremony in HMS COLLINGWOOD on behalf of the Officers' Association on Friday. Kindly invited to take part in the ceremony held on 9th November, he joined Commanding Officer Captain Rob Vitali at the moving event at the Falklands memorial to remember those who gave their lives in war.

Officers Association Sword 2018 The OA Sword for 2018 was presented to Lt Lucy Robus at Summer Divisions on 20 July by HRH The Princess Royal. A photograph of the event is shown here and the citation, together with a brief history of the 2018 sword, can be found here.
