Army Navy Ticket Update No.2
Ticket Update
Army V Navy Sat 05 May 2018
Tickets will be posted by registered mail week commencing 09 April to the address held on the Association Members data base. Should you wish them to be sent to an alternative address I will need to know before this date. Any Pompey rating wishing to collect in person please let Hodge (07866 590578) or myself (07894 670726) know before this date. Bill Parry is also part of the organising team but is unlikely to answer his phone (Gun Number).
Those staying at Premier Inn County Hall, Belverde Road, Lambeth, London SE1 7PB tickets will be distributed in the bar on Friday night/Sat morning. Anyone staying in London that would like to join us are more than welcome.
Those on the coach from the Phonex, 51-55 Torrington Road, Portsmouth PO2 0TN Match tickets will be ready for you on arrival and Jacko will issue the Field Gun bar passes.
Breakfast will be served from 0715 and coaches will leave at 0845 sharp, check blackboards in bar to see what coach you are on.
Please note that as requested by the Secretary of the RNRU Carling Suite Field Gun Bar Passes will be issued on the day (please see below). Whilst I am confident that none of our members would jeopardise our use we will follow instructions and a member of your committee will man the door and issue passes – if you have not pre-booked and you are not on the list you will NOT get in.
Whilst this is a pain in the arse ‘The Field Gun Associations’ are the only RN Contingent to get an RFU bar we don’t want to lose it!
From RNRU Admin:
I know in the past Alan Church, the Secretary of the RNRU has emailed you to ask that these wrist bands are not copied as there have been incidents in previous years (2016 and 2017) where the RFU bar entry staff have reported copies have been used. The RNRU have been warned by the RFU that if this continues we will lose this facility. Therefore please can I ask that you do not hand out the bands until the day of the game. We are aware that the capacity of this facility is less than you would wish, however it is the only bar allocated to the Royal Navy and it is not possible to allocated a larger function room.
From Alan Church, Secretary of the RNRU:
As we are all aware, in recent years you have been let down by a number of your membership and there is no doubt that if there is a repeat this year you will lose the facility. This is not a threat, it merely reflect the RFU stance.
As in previous years I look to you to ‘police’ the event – without wishing to sound dramatic, future use of the Carling Room is in your hands.
