When a cadet on Clan Matheson

with a very weary Cadet Training Officer Ian Ferguson

In 2017, I helped organize a reunion in London for the 1971 Jan (Napier Term) intake. The event was held around St. Katharine’s Dock and the Prospect of Whitby, including a trip on the Docklands Light Railway and a visit to Greenwich. Eleven people attended, some with partners, while a few sent apologies for their absence.

In 2019, a second reunion was arranged, this time in Southampton, and expanded to include others we had met during the MAR and final phase at Warsash. Some of us had not seen each other for over 40 years, but everyone had a wonderful time.

We are planning an even larger gathering in 2021 to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Thanks to the Warsash Association Facebook group, we have reconnected with many more old friends who had been missing.
