Introduction

Please find a quick update on a couple of the more immediate RNSA 90 events. 

We hope you have a great Bank Holiday Weekend.


RNSA 90 Reception at Admiralty House - 17 May at 1200

10 spaces remaining - last chance to book and must close by 5 May.  HMS Nelson's volunteer band will be playing and if you indicate on the booking form, we will obtain tickets for a tour of HMS Victory for you.  We do need to know in advance though.

The advertised dress code is jacket and tie and ladies equivalent.  Noting that some attendees are heading off round the UK as part of the GBC and may not wish to take jackets with them, jackets are optional.

By the kind permission of the Second Sea Lord and with the generous support of Lockheed Martin UK, we are delighted to host a RNSA 90 celebratory lunch reception at Admiralty House, Portsmouth.

Booking form for lunch reception

In summary, the Reception commences at 1200, is for RNSA members, and includes lunch and drinks for only £10 per person. We are limited to 100 guests, so please do book early to avoid disappointment. Bookings will close on 22 April to allow the necessary security processes to be completed. Bookings are on a first come first served basis (with payment) and if necessary we will run a reserve list.

We look forward to welcoming members to what should be a great opportunity to celebrate RNSA 90. This is the first of a number of RNSA 90 events around the UK, which along with the Great British Cruise (GBC) should provide some excellent chances for members to get together, both afloat and ashore. Do have a look at the Notice of Rally for the GBC, which can be found in the members' area of the website.

Portland Lunch Booking Form

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

RNSA is delighted to announce that its 90th celebrations will include a lunch at 'Salt' at Portland Marina on Monday 26 May for local Branch members, those involved in the Great British Cruise that are stopping over in Portland that weekend and more widely members and invited guests of RNSA. At only £10 per person, it will be subsidised by RNSA in recognition of the great support provided by the membership over the last 9 decades.   

The lunch will see some 70 RNSA members and guests of the Association enjoy a lunch time reception with a buffet and drinks at a lovely venue. It will be a celebration of naval sailing, the chance for our community to share experiences and ideas on how to make sailing more accessible and generally look forward to the season ahead.

The lunch will take place on Monday, 26th May commencing at 1200 with welcome drinks. Lunch will follow at 1300 and the event is planned to complete at around 1500. Please use the link below to book and pay for your ticket. We look forward to seeing you.
