The CCF Royal Naval Section Trafalgar Night dinner this year took place on Friday 6 October in the Jubilee Ground Pavilion main hall.

 As marked across the Royal Naval Fleet every year, the diners gathered to celebrate Lord Nelson’s victory over the combined French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar on 21 October 1805.  Open to the senior RN cadets in Years 11, 12 and 13, along with CCF staff, and this year the Year 13 cadets from the Army Section as well,  attendees enjoyed the traditional fare of roast beef as part of a 3-course dinner cooked and served up in excellent style by the Holroyd Howe team.  

With the Naval cadets assisting Cdr Main with the toasts, graces and speeches, and Coxswain Inaya Rouse-Farooq toasting ‘The Immortal Memory’, it was an excellent evening that was rounded off with some hearty singing of favourite sea shanties (and for the first time, The Wellerman) lead by LCadet Marco Ong.
