The Torbay Royal Naval Association celebrates 80 years of service. Anniversary marked by tree planting and community events.
The branch will plant an oak tree to celebrate their 80th anniversary. This will be on the Cockington Estate near Torquay, and they are working with a trust to find the best spot.
The group participates in many events, attending remembrance parades, D-Day events, and Armed Forces Day. The association is also a charity and raises money for good causes, giving to military charities and cadet groups.
They are looking for new members, and people currently in the Royal Navy are welcome to join. Former navy people, along with those from Commonwealth Navies, the WRNS, and QARNNS, can also join the meetings.
The meetings happen monthly on the last Wednesday of each month. They start at 7:30 PM and are held at the Palace Avenue Conservative Club in Paignton.
