The Restaurant layout has changed a bit and the back room we used for our evening get-togethers has now been turned into a function room/dining room.
It has been booked for both evenings on the proviso that we dine together at a set time, 6pm, so that we could have the room to ourselves.
NB If you have changed your email address in the last year or so, and have forgotten to let me or Bernie know,
then do please send an email with "Address update" in the subject line. Thanks.
Event
The regular venue - the Beefeater Packet Steamer, Northern Perimeter Road, Netherton, Liverpool L30 7PT (TEL 0151 531 1497) - will be the venue for the Twenty Fourth Annual Reunion.
All former uniformed sea-going Officers of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company (and latterly Royal Mail & Furness Withy) are welcome to attend. Both evenings are informal.
It has been customary to have a "slide show" (now known as a Powerpoint Presentation) of nostalgic photos of personnel and ships etc from the old days on the Saturday evening.

Ratcliffe, Peter John - the following information was sent by Barry White.
"On 8th Feb 2024 I was at Peter John Ratcliffe (Pete's) Service at the Springwood Crenatorium in LIverpool. He had passed away on 10th January 2024. The cause of death is still to be determined - hence the delay in notifying you. Pete was an Engineeer Cadet with PSNC and was at Riversdale College, Liverpool in the late 60's. He went on to serve with a number of companies later as Chief Engineer. I had known him for over 40 years"
(Pete used to come to the PSNC Reunions and would have known a number of the attendees.)
