Each year Bourne branch is invited to take part in Families Day at RAF Wittering which has a large naval contingent working on Harrier jets.This year was no exception,shipmates manned a tent selling and giving away RN themed items whilst also trying to recruit new members.All took place during a magnificent flying display and very heavy rain showers.

Other events during the year have included collections at local supermarkets to raise funds which are then distributed to worthy causes in and around Bourne that have given assistance to branch members.

Then there was our annual Trafalgar Night on Friday 23rd October when 107 members and guests sat down to a splendid four course meal,enterainment and speeches whilst partaking in naval traditions,sea shanties and the odd tot or two.

The raffle of donated prizes raised almost £450.Shipmates were joined by Lt.Cdr Andy MacDonald RN (based at Wittering),Cdr Graham Creedy LVO (Ret'd) and Bourne Town Mayor,Trevor Holmes.The evening was masterminded by the Branch President Nobby Middleton MBE.
