The 1805 Dispatches #26.03 June 2026 6 of 8 RECRUITMENT ROYAL NAVY DAY BY DAY Published at intervals since 1979, the detailed daily history of the events through history has been undergoing the latest update and is about to be published within the next few weeks at a list price of £100 – which, bearing in mind that it is a 1,000-page A4 hardback, is good value for money. However, the membership of the Royal Naval Tot Club of Antigua and Barbuda, for whom David C Monks, Past Commodore of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve is organising this offer, have managed to negotiate a magnificent 47.5% discount from the list price, making each copy only £52.50 plus P&P. David Monks feels this offer could be of interest to membership of The 1805 Club, so we have circulated details here, as the offer will have to close within the next few weeks as it gets nearer the publication date. Anyone interested should complete the form at https://ask2gocloud.fillout.com/t/vSStuggaG9us to secure their place in the expressions of interest, and this will be followed up with instructions regarding collection/posting once the published weight has been determined. You have read elsewhere of the changes that have taken place in the Board of Trustees and those Associated to the Board. We have a fresh set of Trustees – not all new, as experienced Trustees form the majority, but still a fresh grouping. This is an opportunity for those members who feel they can contribute to the running of The 1805 Club to step up to the mark. Please either use the Skills button on our website, or contact our new Secretary, Trustee Jude Wilson, at secretary@1805club.org, and express your interest. Various roles wait to be filled, or refilled. You will never be expected to commit more time and effort than you are comfortable with. The ongoing vitality of the Club is important, and you may be one of those who help maintain it. And have more fun as a result! The 1805 Club is a club, the clue is in the name. But what all of us must remember is that the Club is a charity, originally created to finding memorials to past naval personnel of the long Georgian period and to try our best to ensure that they be properly remembered. To further this end we also encourage and support research into naval history and find ways to improve its education. None of this is cheap if it is to be done well, and ‘done well’ is the only way to do things. In common with all other charities, we can only fully carry out our promises if we can raise enough funds to do so. In future publications you will see a reminder that there are ways to make a donation, whenever you might find a bit of surplus cash, together with ways to purchase merchandise and secondhand books that have been kindly donated to the Club for the very purpose of fundraising.
