This Charity Gala was organised  to celebrate 75 years of The Royal Marines Association and to raise crucial funds for The Royal Marines Charity.  The group “The Jukebox Sweethearts” sang wartime songs and a set of post modern jukebox. A  bottle tombola, auction, lucky dip and the selling of squares to win “The Sweetheart Brooch” all led to a magnificent total of £4,000 being raised, a great effort by the team and the members that attended.  During the morning we heard the sad news that our President Colonel David Storrie OBE MID had passed away,  a toast was made during the afternoon.
