You may not be aware but the General Secretary has being inviting a variety of Shipmates and guest presenters to provide a 15 minute Presentation/Chat/Lecturettes on Zoom, which he has been organising during the lockdown period. The presentations take place on Monday evenings at 1800 and have covered a wide range of naval related subjects, including Jutland and WW2 Memories from WW2 Veteran S/M Bill Taylor
