It would be great to get a mix of Junior Ranks, Chief & Petty Officers and Officers. If you’ve never been to a Mess Dinner before, don’t be intimidated. They are always a lot of fun, and Admiral Topshee is a great speaker. Note the deadline for RSVP & payment of 10 April.
The Hamilton Naval Association is delighted to announce that VAdm Angus Topshee, the 38th Commander Royal Canadian Navy, will be our guest at the annual BOA Mess Dinner to be held at LIUNA Station on Friday, 1 May. See Calendar for details.
Happy to congratulate Cdr Ryan Bell, who started his naval career at HMCS STAR, on his appointment as CO of HMCS MAX BERNAYS, AOPV 432. Cdr Bell is currently serving as DNR – 2 in Ottawa, with responsibility for uncrewed systems.
