Summer BBQ

Reunion Sunday

A cooked breakfast to start the day, followed by the opportunity to attend church, we headed out to Atlantic Village for some retail therapy.
On returning the reunion concert was underway. Unfortunately very few branches had prepared a sketch. Peppy the dog was very popular but Elvis won the trophy.
On completion Sunday roast was served, can't beat a nice bit of roast beef.
We retired to our rooms for the remainder of the afternoon for some relaxation before we met in the bar at 18:30 for drinks before the evening meal. Food was served as a buffet and was very tasty.
Entertainment was provided by Jason Toft who sang songs from a range of decades.
A very enjoyable evening was had by all.

Reunion formal dinner

RNA Reunion Saturday

Saturday started with breakfast and was followed by the quiz.
We had set the questions for this year having won last year.
This year the quiz was won by Ferndown branch, who will be required to set the questions for next year.
Following the quiz we went for a visit to the SS Freshspring, a steam ship water carrier details of which can be found at http://www.ssfreshspring.co.uk/history. It was very interesting to see the preservation and restoration work that is being carried out.
Lunch was taken at Otters cafe and was very enjoyable.
Now resting prior to the evenings formal dinner.

Welcome dinner

Friday evening, meet in the bar at 18:30, move into the dining room at 19:00. Welcome speach by a shipmate from Warminster, then table numbers drawn out of a bag to see who goes to the buffet first.
Once all adequately fed, there was live entertainment from Ronnie Delrios who sang a range of songs and played the saxophone. At 22:00 the bottle draw took place and our table was lucky enough to win 3 bottles
Entertainment continued with more singing and dancing.

The RNA minibus parked outside the Durrant House Hotel Bideford, ready for the area 4RNA reunion.
