Can't make it to the celebrations this year I'm afraid. I'll play the vid and think of you guys pissing it up in the Adelphi!!! :)

If you mean the re-union dinner, it took place yesterday at Plas Newydd on Anglesey. I think it was timed with the recent opening of the HMS Conway cafe there.

Nice to see the Auld Ship on You Tube!

Thanks for viewing. Glad you liked it.

I once spent a whole afternoon scraping the original Conway mast down the dock at Plas Newedd on punishment from Brooke-Smith for setting my alarm wrong on early heaveout and getting him up in the cold winter at 3.00 in the morning.

That doesn't sound like fun. However, if you want to re-live the experience you can always come along to Birkenhead docks at some point.

Thanks again for viewing.

Nope I don't mean the reopening of the café in Plas Newydd, I mean the big do in Liddypool in August this year.

You're welcome. It's a great song and seemed appropriate for this little video. The full version is quite a moving piece.

Thanks again for viewing.

I forgot to finish, "be strong"

Thanks for the music title, I have now downloaded it onto my music, Thank you.

The song is 'Fantasia on a Theme' by Thomas Tallis. It's from the film Master & Commander CD soundtrack. Cheers for viewing.
