Morning All. Intend laying a wreath at Plymouth Falklands Memorial at 1000 on Monday 25 May on behalf of HMS Broadsword Association in memory of HMS Coventry. Due to social distancing I think I will be doing it on my own this year.

Not having any transport in uk is anyone able to offer me a lift from Bristol to Southsea on 22nd May for the reunion please? Petrol money will of course be forthcoming.

Well lads a great turnout in london. Hope you all got home safely. Look forward to seeing you in the newyear
All the best

Excellent video clip of Almirante Greenhalgh and PHM Atlantico(OCEAN)on you tube.
Broadsword sail past Ocean during Brazilian exercise. Still in her old goalkeeping role.
Good to see. Look for clip title Greenhalgh leapfrogging Atlantico.
Regards to all.

Brilliant site, looks a really well run association so will put in a request form to become a member. Any other members who were shipmates for the gulf Patrols of 86 and 87?

I am sorry to announce that our brother, David Sutton, who was on the HMS Broadsword during the Falklands conflict, has sadly passed away. For anyone that knew him I have posted details or you can email me for any information.

Any ex Broadsword ships co living up in Scotland. Might be good for a couple of beers if near enough.

To all members attending next years reunion in Bristol.
If you haven\'t already submitted your menus please do so early in the new year. Do not leave until the week before as you will be disappointed.
If you have already submitted but have not paid please do so in January so the treasurer can pay the balance when it is due in April.
May i take this opportunity to wish all members a very happy Xmas.

Yours Aye
Shipmate Bracken

Shipmates, today is a very sad day for our shipmate Ozzie Osbourne, today he will be at the funeral of his wife Sylvia, who had a long and brave battle with Altzhiemers, please keep him in your thoughts as he is not in the best of health himself. Ozzie was on the first Broadsword and generally attends all our functions. Sylvia has crossed the bar, may she find safe anchorage.

Flights and hotel booked for next May.
I got two nights at the Mercure Bristol Holland House Hotel for £179 through Booking.com which is a better rate than the discounted rate offered by the hotel. Check it out.
