Friday 4 July - Saturday 5 July, 2025
Marking 30 years since the closure of RNEC Manadon
Captain David Wixon RN (RNEC 58-63 & 80-82) is a former MEO of HMS COURAGEOUS and serves as the President of the HMS Courageous Association. David is also an accomplished artist and has produced an excellent drawing of the RNEC Manadon wardroom and accommodation wings (see below). David has several prints left and will be making them available for purchase at the Saturday evening reunion event. The prints are approx. one metre long and are packaged in a cardboard tube with a certificate of authenticity signed by David.
In addition to the local hotels and guest houses, you might also consider looking into the China Fleet Country Club in Saltash, Cornwall. The club offers current and former service members some excellent deals, including the offer of £95 per night for a 1-bedroom self-catering apartment. See the brochure and link below for more information.
This reunion website is running on a new platform built for rnecmanadon.com. The RNEC website will be migrated to the new system in 2025 and will offer a host of new features. I will send an email to everyone once it is ready - PHR
