We would like to extend an open invite to all our shipmates and friends who live on the island and around the world to visit us on one of our meetings or events shown below.

.

As can be seen by our Events Calendar we have changed the day and place of our monthly meetings. We have taken up the kind offer by the President (RSM) of the Warrant Officers and Sergeants mess at Ayios Nikolaos to use his mess for our meetings and at the same time changed the day of the week to suit some of the shipmates in the Branch.
.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Manager and staff of the Henipa Hotel Oroklini who have been our hosts for the first year of our Branch and wish them all the best in the future.

Because of the change of venue if anyone wishes to visit us, please contact the Hon sec before hand so we can arrange for entrance to the base as well as someone to meet you and show you where to go.

The National President of the Royal Naval Association, Vice Admiral John McAnally CB LVO, recently graced the shores of Cyprus to carry out the Commissioning Ceremony of the Eastern Cyprus Branch. During his three day visit, the President also paid a visit to the Cyprus Branch at the western end of the island.

The Commissioning of the Eastern Cyprus Branch took place at the Dhekelia Officer's Club in the presence of the Commander British Forces Cyprus, Air Vice Marshal Richard Lacey, the Commanding Officer of the Cyprus Squadron, Lt Cdr Alex Bush, serving RN personnel from Ayios Nikolaos, representatives of other Service Associations, Honoured Guests and Shipmates from both Branches.

In his address the President underlined the Aims and Objectives of the Association which are “Unity, Loyalty, Patriotism and Comradeship”. He expressed how honoured he was to be invited and that he appreciated how important and essential the work is in supporting ex-service personnel, this was echoed by the Commander British Forces in his address.

Shipmate Peter Hill was elected as the first Chairman of the Eastern Cyprus Branch and he called upon Vice Admiral McAnally to speak the final words of the ceremony

“SPLICE THE MAINBRACE”.
