Thank you again newspapers, like The Argus, for printing my letter about reuniting those who served together in the Royal Navy.

I have received lovely stories and am pleased to announce that over the years I have managed to reunite lots who served together, much with the co-operation of the local newspaper.

My letters are often cut out and sent to someone who has served: “My niece saw your letter and sent it to me.”

One of the main points in letters to me is the missing of the camaraderie of those who served in the Royal Navy and to wish I could relive some of it.

Well thanks to a little bit of effort and co-operation, this can be done in the form of an RN Shipmates Reunion which will be held over the weekend of February 27 to March 2 in Bristol.

This includes a couple of coach tours over the weekend and of course, a tot issue.

The ladies are not forgotten so wives and partners are welcome.

No association to join, no annual subscription, just come and ‘swing the lamp’ and find old shipmates and how about using the Internet Radio to start now?

Send me a brief story of a shipmate you would like to be reunited with from your Royal Navy days and I will broadcast it on the internet all over the world on www.angelradioisleofwight.moonfruit.com.

This goes out locally on 91.5 fm and Wight Fibre network, but more importantly, online.

Contact me for reunion details or the Internet Radio, Mike Crowe on mike.crowe1@btinternet.com or at 7 Heath Road, Lake, Sandown, Isle of Wight. PO36 8PG.

(A stamp will help the pension if writing to me for reunion details.) The next move towards finding your old shipmate is yours. Do it now!
