Bristol Affiliation Board Meeting

Not even the coronavirus can stop the Bristol Affiliation Board from meeting!  Joining from HMS PRINCE OF WALES in Portsmouth, the Affiliation Board welcomed Commander Shaun Riordan, Navy Commander Weapon Engineer and Lt Cdr Simon Watson, Head of Media HMS PWLS to their first Board meeting.  The Board discussed which names of streets in Bristol could be used to designate corridors on board HMS PRINCE OF WALES.  Among the names suggested were Plimsol Bridge, Christmas Steps, Anchor Road, Wine Street, Concorde Drive, Corn Street, Cheers Drive and Denmark Street.  Bristol will also present to the Ship a set of crockery displaying a unique Bristol and Liverpool crest.  Due to coronavirus, it is unlikely that the ship’s company will participate in observances around Armed Forces Week, the 50th anniversary of return of the SS Great Britain and Remembrance Sunday.
