HMS Fisgard 60th Anniversary Reunion
6th, 7th & 8th September 2024
Duke of Cornwall Hotel, Millbay Road, Plymouth, PL1 3LG
On the 7th & 8th September 1964, 337 young men of Series 52 entry joined the Royal Navy as Artificer Apprentices at HMS Fisgard in Torpoint, one of the largest ever entries (only Series 49 was slightly larger). This was to prove to be the greatest single change in their lives.
A group of 13 ex-Artificer Apprentices have met on several occasions recently, to kick-start this reunion. We are now in a position to start advertising some of the details to those who might like to attend. Either all or parts of the planned events over the weekend but especially the Formal Dinner on Saturday 7th September.
However you will also know that there were movements between entries, for various reasons, and therefore we would like to include as many of S50, S51 and S53 as would wish to attend.
To achieve this we have initially drawn up a list of 138 ex-artificer apprentices, plus some friends, and wish to invite all to join us. This list consists, (mostly), of those for whom we have contact details, but if you know of others please let us know.
We have booked the Ballroom of The Duke of Cornwall for our dinner.
At the event we will also remember the 43 other ex-artificer apprentices who are sadly no longer with us.
We are not booking rooms for any attendees but will provide a list of available hotels to all those who express their interest in joining us for 1, 2 or 3 nights over the weekend.
