The luncheon was held at The Naval Club (R.N.V.R. Officers Association) situated in Mayfair not far from Piccadilly. A traditional gentleman's club occupying a listed Georgian Town House, the 18th Century residence of the Earl of Chatham, brother of William Pitt the Younger, Prime Minister of Great Britain. Well appointed with lounges, a bar and dining room for members. Accommodation is also available of a fairly basic but comfortable nature.
The luncheon was well attended with some 73 persons attending. An enjoyable time was had by all, with a great many anchors and pistons being dragged around the room. Unfortunately Mr. Edmund Vestey was unable to attend due to family illness.
