The Company

Later in July a few souls braved the elements, courtesy of CA David Sheehan, and spent a blustery
day sailing in the Solent, where they shared the waters with one of the largest US aircraft Carriers –
the USS George H W Bush, complete with its impressive array of aircraft.

In September 27 Members and Guests were entertained by the Company of Pikemen and
Musketeers at the Honourable Artillery Company. The occasion gave everyone an insight into this
country’s oldest regiment, its Grade I listed headquarters building and the unique, royally warranted,
ceremonial bodyguard of The Lord Mayor of London.

Event Attendance

The Company organises many events each year, some formal, others much less so, and for these to
be successful we need our members to support them. During Ian’s year we held 27 events. Just
under 50% of our members attended at least one of the events, whilst only 6 members (2·0%)
