This year’s Annual General Meeting of the Royal Navy Club 1765 & 1785 will be held at 1800 on Thursday, 10th September 2026 in HMS COLLINGWOOD, Fareham, Hants (and not HMS EXCELLENT as previously advised). Following the now well established format it will be followed by drinks/food, and be combined in-person/ VTC. The guest speaker will be Cdre Dan Simmonds, COMSUBOPS. All members are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting and those wishing to attend either in person/or connect by MS TEAMS are requested to inform the Secretary no later than 28 August 2026. Should unusually large numbers necessitate a different means of supporting the AGM (e.g a webinar), further guidance will be issued.

GUEST NIGHTS – GUIDANCE FOR MEMBERS

The Committee is mindful of the fact that fellow officers have been seeking guidance from the Secretary about those they are considering inviting as their guests to Club dinners; accordingly the Committee has approved the following guidance for the use of members.

The primary principle is to maintain the ethos of the Club and avoid endangering or disturbing the welfare, good feeling, honour or conviviality of Club occasions.

No one eligible for membership may normally be a guest except as provided for in Rule I.

Members may not normally invite more than two guests each. Members wishing to invite more than two guests should consult the Secretary who may admit them at his discretion. When a capacity attendance is expected the Committee may restrict members to one guest each.

Except for Founders’ Day dinner which will continue to be for members only, there are no restrictions on the type of guests with spouses and partners warmly welcome at each Members’ guest night dinner.
