Fear not, the Nelson Society is alive and well, albeit always on the lookout for new members. Just before Christmas we had an amazing private visit to the 'Turner & the Sea' exhibition and to the new 'Nelson, Navy, Nation' gallery at the NMM. (For full report see next Dispatch - will be out soon). Next event is the Haydn 'Nelson' Mass at the chapel of the old Royal Naval College, Greenwich - I went last year and it was terrific. The day finished with a glass of port and a toast to the 'Immortal Memory' in the Painted Hall. For details of this coming event see 'The Official Nelson Society' website. See the website too for membership details.

Could you or someone else please confirm what is the latest Nelson Dispatch that has been published. I have just glanced on the relevant shelf and the latest one I have there is July 2013. It's VERY possible that I could have misfiled a later one but would appreciate confirmation on that.
And there is one other small thing that sort of ties in with Rosie's original query. I recall at one time that an annual summary of the Nelson Society accounts used to be sent out with the Dispatch. I used to find that useful to see exactly how the Subscription money and other income was being spent. i.e. on the Dispatch and any other projects etc. etc. Again I might be wrong but I can't recall seeing that for some while now. I wonder if it was a conscious decision to stop sending it out?
Hope it's O.K. to raise these questions here otherwise I can delete the post and address the queries direct to the Secretary of the NS.
