In 1982 a group of R.N.A. members got together from areas 1, 2, 5 & 6 and decided it would be a good idea if they could make arrangements for ex-naval people and their families to meet and have a get together at least once a year to renew old acquaintances, it was decided to try to have a weekend re-union in one place.

This was so successful that after the initial weekend, it was arranged each year.  It also gives us a great opportunity to raise money for various charities throughout the United Kingdom.

After a while, because of the popularity of this re-union, approximately 400 to 500 attendees for each event, it was extended to two long weekends a year, and are now held in  the spring and autumn.  These weekends run from Friday evening to Monday morning, are full board, include entertainment and make a great family weekend to relax and enjoy yourselves with your Shipmates.
