From Carl (the Sec)
Shipmates, I recently received a query from an elderly shipmate member of ours aged 96, asking if he had paid his subs and if not how to go about paying them. After some thought I did two things;
One, knowing that he was a WW2 veteran I contacted the RNA HQ and having passed on his details I requested that they contact the Branch nearest to him to arrange a visit Covid permitting or when the lockdown is lifted and ..
Two, to arrange for the RNA Certificate Of Appreciation to be issued.

I'm attempting to get hold of a copy of the cartoon book "Jack by Tugg" which was published in 1983 but have failed miserably. I've also got Ken Sutton searching as well (Comms Museum). Not only would I like it for myself but also for our RNA Branch out here where, as you know, I'm the Branch Sec. and where such cartoons could be used in our monthly newsletter.
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give
Yours Aye
Spud (934)
