Trafalgar Ladies Guest Night 2019 Now open for bookings Online bookings are now open for this year's Trafalgar Ladies Guest Night. The premier event of 2019, this formal dinner, will be held this year on Friday 25th October. Music will be provided by the HMS NELSON Volunteer Brass Band Quintet, who have played so well over the last couple of years. You can find the online booking page 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
