Dear CONA Colleagues,

I have now received confirmation that QE will be arriving in Portsmouth on Friday 18 August 2017 at 0937.   We have been allocated tickets for and as many as we would like at Fort Blockhouse.

• Fort Blockhouse will provide a fantastic viewing point as you will be able to  view her progress down the channel past Southsea and then entrance into the Harbour and up harbour to her berth, the Princess Royal Jetty.  It is planned that Refreshments and Bouncy Castles will be made available.

Please forward full names and a contact  no by e-mail to [email protected] or phone 02392723747 (leave message on answer phone clearly please)  

Sadly I can’t as yet confirm requirements for Standard Bearers, who are under serious consideration to play a starring role in the celebrations I am hoping for more information on Monday and will keep you informed.

Please disseminate as you see fit. A gentle reminder please remember that ships programmes are subject to change at short notice especially when there is inclement weather about and the ship has never entered its homeport previously!

Very best wishes

Andy
