2005 has been another successful year with maximum attendance at all major events.  I apologise to those that have been disappointed but tickets are issued on a first come first served basis.

Recently a late invitation was received inviting Members of the Company to spend a day aboard HMS Argyll.  Due to short notice I decided to e-mail all members whose address we have.  Unfortunately this meant some of you did not receive the message, consequently to  avoid being left out in future please let me have your e-mail details where not already submitted.

This year has seen many natural disasters which have prompted a huge public response.  May I remind you all that that such response is enhanced by Gift Aid.  To those who have not completed a form to enable Gift Aid to be claimed on your contribution made to the Company's Charity Funds, I will enclose the necessary form with my next mail-out.  Please return the form, it can add 28% to your contribution.

Supplement:  Due to pressure on space a separate supplement has been issued covering the Paviors' Golfing Society, Industry Committee and Paviors Lodge.
