HORLEY ON WHIT SUNDAY members of the Horley Branch made their annual journey to Chatham- to attend the Jutland and Dunkirk Rally in very good weather. The coach left at 0900 and arrived at the Royal Sailors' Home Club at 1130. Lunch was served at the Home and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was learned with regret that this was the last time the amenities of the Home could be enjoyed as it was shortly closing down. The Rally took place in the R.N. Barracks, Chatham, with twenty-eight branches and standards present. The service took place in the R.N. Barracks Church of St. George and was conducted by the Very Rev. T. Crick, Chaplain, R.N.A., and Dean of Rochester. in the presence of the Commander-in-Chief The Nore. Ad- miral Sir Frederick R. Parham. who also read the lesson.
After the service the parade re- formed and marched past the Com- mander-in-Chief, who afterwards in- spected the branches, and talked to many present. After dispersal the Horley Branch returned to the Royal Sailors' Home for tea, and left Chat- ham at 7 p.m. for the homeward journey, which was very pleasant. Horley was reached at 11.30 p.m.,after a most successful and enjoyable day.
