Nearly there..... a few reminders......

Well there is just a little over 2 days to go before the big event!  Here are a few reminders for you………..

Timings.
Doors open at 1900 - This would be a good time to get your photograph taken and peruse the fine naval artwork that Julia Pankhurst is bringing along. Don’t forget to bring some extra cash to make these purchases!
We hope to sit down for the meal around 8pm and return to the lounge by 10pm at the latest for the first set from the band Red Alert.

Medals.
As this is a naval function within a Naval Establishment, albeit unofficial, and serving members are attending, it is only right and proper that we show off our gongs, many having been earned whilst serving on the Ark. Miniature medals may be worn if you wish, unless like me and Russ you can’t find them!

Cabins
Due to Mess rules a cabin has to be allocated per person at a cost of £13.86 for civilians and £8.77 for serving. This should be paid for on the night or when returning keys in the morning.  This isn’t B&B so it's McDonald’s or Asda over the road for brekky!

Refunds
Unfortunately, the costing is all set in stone now, so if anyone cannot make it on the night we will be unable to offer any refunds as a matter of course. In the unlikely event of having a few quid left over we will look at each individual case. However, we have agreed that any spare dosh should go to H4H or perhaps the Mess Charity.

Photos
Thank you all for your donated photos which are being collated by Nick. In the interest of ‘Free Speech’ we reserve the right to show them ALL and apologise in advance if the odd one causes embarrassment…. ‘we will plead the Fifth Amendment or 'Life in a Blue Suit Jack' if challenged.  ;-p

Place Cards
At great expense and effort I have made place cards for everyone with their chosen meal on the back. I apologise for any spelling mistakes with your names as I'm ‘illetarite’…. Should you want a corrected version I might be able to help after the event.

So…… let’s enjoy!

Jerry and the Team
