What a weekend! So much to see and do, from the Annual General Meeting, to the social get together on the Friday evening. A full day at the Historic Chatham Dockyard, visiting the various nautical vessels that were open to the public to embarking on a tour of the sets and props of the TV programme Call The Midwife, A shortened course in rope making to the highlight of a wonderful gala dinner that was full of hilarity.
Our gratitude to the QARNNS Association Social Secretary and to those who provided the photographic evidence!!
