Shipmates,
At 1050 this morning I was proud to parade your Standard in St Georges Road and at 1100 to carry out a Dip in gratitude to those who sacraficed so much for our freedom, and in honour of those fighting the present battle. For those observant amongst you the black mourning drapes were flown to remember our own members who have crossed the bar recently.
Yours aye
Ben Cartwright
President and Standard Bearer
