Welcome

Welcome to all who visit the Halifax Branch of the Royal Naval Association


Halifax Branch of the Royal Naval Association was first formed some 25 years ago by Mr and Mrs Hughie O'Connor both retired RN personnel. The first few years we were homed at the Halifax rugby league social club. Some ten years ago we moved to our present location, the Ukrainian Club. Queens Rd.

A number of our lady members are ex WRENs

We have a strong detachment of ex Royal Marines one of whom served with the famous cockleshells later to become the SBS. Another serving in the commando unit.

Our aim is to further comradeship between like minded people.

All serving, ex RN ex Merchant seamen or ex Royal Marines are eligible to become members and any family with a serving member of the above may become honorary members.

We meet on the third Thursday of each month at the Ukrainian Club. Queens Road, Halifax, West Yorkshire

On Sunday the 21st June our unit paid a visit to the Ashton-u-Lyne branch of the Combined Serrvices Association in order to assist in fund raising for the benefit of the Children of Chenoble. The day was very successful. The children themselves were magnificent, we have assisted in this venture for four years now and always enjoy ourselves.

A massive cheer should be given to the committee of the Combined Services Organization for the work and dedication they put into this cause.
