I served in the RN from 1975 to 1991 leaving as a CHOPS(M) from the first Type 23 HMS Norfolk.
I am the communications manager for the HMS Ardent Assocation and that is how I became active in the setting up of the Type 21 Club social networkig site.
Richie,
Could you please send a reminder out to all the 21 Troops, one week to go and we have nearly 40 firm confirmations for next Friday night!
Mick Brain is flying in from Oz and Jamie Hale from Chicago so the beers are on them for being awol for so long!
No need to book, just turn up at the St Levans Inn on Friday 6th November 2009 between 1930 and very late!
If you need any details email mark@sharplesgroup.com or 01925 839592 (weekdays)
Kind Regards
Mark Brocklehurst

Hi Richard (from a fellow ex Gunnery Rate), this is a great social site. I left the mob in 2001, settled in Yorkshire, and I'm now the Membership Sec for Amuscade's Association. I met you briefly in '83 when our ships got together out the Far East somewhere, hope to see you again in the near future. All the best.
I left the mob in April 05 after nearly 35 years, then moved to Spain in the June to South Costa Blanca. I don't work here but we live on our pensions, which are alot less now than they were 3 years ago!! If you're ever out this way give us a shout.
How's the job hunting going??

Richard, There didn't seem to be an obvious place for this notice in the web site so perhaps you could consider where to put it but:
I'm sure that the members who knew him would wish to know that Ian (Pincher) Martin (ex Active , Avenger and Arrow) passed away on 17 September.
I was notified of the sad news in e-mails received from his daughter Alison and fellow T21 club member Jim Turner. I'm sure that club members would wish to join me in sending sincere condolences to Pincher's wife Lily, his daughters Alison and Jenny and other family members at this sad time.

Hi Richie,
I have posted a general invite to all 21 Club members to join the Ambuscade Association at the ST Levan Inn on Friday 6th November. I am unsure when I posted the event if the invite automaticaly will go out to all the members and if it hasn't could you do it for me?
I am not totally IT inept but I occaisonally worry myself!
Hope your able to attend and please keep up the good work, the site and forum is first class.
Kind Regards
