Please remember that we are meeting on the 24th of July, Gibraltar Day to all the RM out there. The anniversary of the capture of Gibraltar:
The Capture of Gibraltar - 24 July 1704
The famous attack upon Gibraltar, which led to its surrender to the British, on 24 July 1704 was carried out by a brigade of British and Dutch Marines, 1,800 strong, under the command of Prince George of Hesse-Darmstadt. In the following October, Gibraltar was besieged by the French and Spanish. The Marine brigade, which had been reinforced shortly before by a further 400 Marines from the British Fleet, held the fortress against repeated attacks until the siege was raised on 9 March 1705. In one incident in this fighting, Captain Fisher of the Marines with 17 of his men, successfully defended the Round Tower against the continued assaults of 500 French Grenadiers. A contemporary report of this noted defence says,
"Encouraged by the Prince of Hesse, the garrison did more than could humanly be expected, and the English Marines gained an immortal glory.
So the first drink of the night is on me.

I will be at the airport to pick you up. I'll be the one in the kilt with the sign saying "Hit or Miss" since I don't have your real name. I have a vehicle for baggage. Sig_Des has indicated that he might show up at YOW and join us there. From YOW we will proceed to Darcy's to RV with everyone else.
Do we have a reservation at Darcy's and do we need one?
