MANY of your readers will have served in the Royal Navy and be missing the camaraderie they had with their old shipmates now they have left.

To relive that camaraderie, and possibly meet up with their old shipmates, they can get a free monthly mailing list of Royal Navy reunions giving dates, locations and contact details.

Have a look at rnshipmates.co.uk and check out the reunions section – there are currently more than 30.

Reunions listings are available by e-mailing royalnavyreunions @gmail.com.

Former shipmates can see what is included with each reunion, such as a visit somewhere, a gala dinner and a traditional tot of rum.

Wives and partners are not forgotten – they can also go to the reunions.

It costs nothing as the reunion listings are all sent out by e-mail.

There are no subscriptions or donations.
