60th Anniversary Reunion at HMS Excellent, Portsmouth - 24th March 2013. The Diamond Reunion in March 2013 was the 11th Reunion Series 17 had held since the Golden Reunion at the Mountbatten Centre on the 4th January 2003, and the 5th one to be held at H.M.S.Excellent. Over the years by mutual consent the date has been changed to March in order to allow travelling conditions to be easier, with better weather conditions and lighter evenings. As always, when the group met there was a great deal of "catching up" to be done. Sixty four attended, made up of husbands & wives, with some who were unaccompanied. Over the years the group has varied according to people's domestic commitments and in fact there was only one member and his wife who hadn't made it before - all were delighted to greet John & Merle Fisher from Wales. The Air Artificers, in particular, have been a stalwart bunch having their Air Reunion on the Saturday evening before joining the main body on the Sunday morning. We had an excellent lunch at H.M.S. Excellent, followed by a relaxed afternoon of chat, photographs taken, and a chance to look at photos from the past. All to soon it was time to say good bye. An amazing, happy occasion celebrating 60 years of friendships formed as youths, which were eagerly renewed. Photos supplied by Bob Tuckey.
