AGM 2004 Election Packs
AGM 2004 election packs are going in the post over the course of this coming
week - overseas first, followed by Wales & Scotland and then the rest of us
in England. This gives about 5+ weeks for ballot papers to be returned by
31 Mar 04 to the address given on the ballot paper. They can also be taken
to Pakefield by someone and deposited in the ballot box there up until 2100
on the Friday of reunion.

Your Navy, Past and Present
Following received by email. I cannot trace either of the two undermentioned in the membership lists
(Right names/wrong years) but if anyone knows of them or their whereabouts they may be interested
in a memento of their time in the Andrew - webmaster
I don't know if this is of interest to yourself or your members - apologies if I am wasting your time.
I bought a copy of the above book a few months ago which was published in 1959
by HMS Ganges Juniors' Training Establishment.
I assume that you already have many copies of this publication,
however there are details of two of the books owners inside the covers,
namely:
Peter Jackson
Keppel Division
3.7.54
MESS .9.
SBNo 6415
= = = = =
Robertson
37Gl(?)
14, Mess
RODNEY DIVISION
and within the back cover: ROBERTSON 6344 37Gl
Are these two gentlemen members of your organisation, and if so is this of any 'use' to them?
Regards,
Andrew Ross <andrew@26354.org>
