Also on Sunday Admiral Mike Thomas has informed the Association of an event, this snippet from his email will explain

I have been asked by Plymouth City Council to attend the Plymouth Sea Sunday service on 10 July representing Scouts and DGFA. This is of course Reunion weekend and it struck me that it would a better idea, and easier for all concerned, if our Drake church parade went to this service instead. No security problems and a chance for the Association to be seen in public (and in daylight too!) It's at St Andrews, the City Minster, just off Royal Parade by the Guildhall at 1115. (to be seated by 1100). Just turn up. I am sure we can find somewhere close by for refreshment afterwards. If you agree can this be broadcast to the members please.
