2009 Dunedin Reunion

NEW INFORMATION

2009 Reunion and Memorial Service: 11th July

Come and meet our Survivors, Veterans and many other members of HMS Dunedin Society at the Summer Reunion and Remembrance Ceremony on Saturday 11th July at the National Memorial Arboretum Alrewas Staffordshire.

All members will be receiving a personal invitation either by email or post at the beginning of May. This will give details of the event and of the informal gathering at the Fradley Arms the previous evening, plus accommodation information. There is a reply form if you wish to attend, as it is important to know numbers and of those attending. If you have not heard from us by mid-May, and would like to come, please email Karen Kebby – Karen@kebby.freeserve.co.uk or telephone her on 01202 848752 (during working hours)

Please click here for the programme, which will run from 11.00 hrs – 16.00 hrs.

Details of the Arboretum, including directions and map can be found at http://www.thenma.org.uk

It has become a very busy place since the opening of the Armed Forces Memorial and we look forward to the opportunity of viewing this too.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Message from Stuart Gill: as some of you will know, I left the UK last year to take up a posting in Australia. This means I shall miss a few reunions, including the forthcoming gathering at the Arboretum in July, but I will continue to run the website and will stay very closely in touch with the Dunedin Society. I shall sorely miss those of you I won't be seeing for a while, but I know that the enduring strength of the Society will keep it going as a continuing memorial to the men of HMS Dunedin. I will see you all when I get back.

I am operating the web site from Australia. Please e-mail me if you spot any problems (eg missing links, photos etc) and I will repair the damage.
