Update: 2002-05-01
As a result of the recent incident in the Bay St Armouries, the messes will be closed until completion of a Board of Inquiry into their operation. To organize a new location for our May meeting at this late date would be difficult. Therefore, I have decided that we will start our summer break early.

The meeting next Wed, 8 May, is cancelled. The next meeting will be on the second Wed of Sep, 11 Sep 02.

Watch for announcements of the Fall programme on the events page, and in the next edition of the RUSI VI Newsletter.
