Calling all Ancient Mariners who began their careers c.1970-75 in Plymouth at the then School of Navigation. A few of us are planning a low-key get together (pub and dinner) on Saturday 16 May 2026. If you'd like to join us, please get in touch with any suggestions as to what you’d like to do that day and perhaps also on the Friday before.
Chris Haughton
(Cunard-Brocklebank 1971)
