Nottingham
Members of the Nottingham Branch at their Social evening held at the Royal Navy Association Club in Nottingham. Sadly the Branch had to move from the Robin Hood Rifles Club as some members were finding it difficult to access the clubrooms via the outside stairs. Nevertheless an excellent evening was enjoyed at the new venue.
