Severn Unit
Tewkesbury based Severn Unit held their 13th Trafalgar Night Dinner at T.S. Otter Tewkesbury on 18th October. Head of Unit Nic Price said “Although it was the 13th Trafalgar Night Dinner, it was held on a Friday and 13 ladies were present it certainly was not unlucky for us as we had a most successful and pleasant evening. We ware pleased to welcome Chris Todd – Area Volunteer Officer (North) – as our main guest and he proposed the toast to the Immortal Memory. We were also delighted that Town Councillor Chuck Pavey along with his Consort Mrs. Anne Bayliss could also join us”.
