Navy Reunion

Around 60 former Royal NZ Navy personnel attended a reunion at the Warkworth RSA on October 14. An organiser Brian Henman says the event went better than he anticipated. “It was a real success, with a lot of local ex-navy people I didn’t know showing up,” Brian says. A feature of the day was a display of five scale models of New Zealand naval vessels. This was one more than expected, as the organisers were also able to secure for the day a 3.7 metre model of the HMNZS Canterbury. Based on the success of the day, the event will be held again next year.
