“Now, gentlemen, let us do something today which the world may talk of hereafter.” This strap line, chosen for the Collingwood 2010 Festival, is taken from Collingwood’s own words. What a fine mission statement it is. The spirit of its meaning inspired The 1805 Club, the Royal Navy and those in Northumberland to create a magnificent weekend of events between 5 and 7 March. They now represent the keelson of the Collingwood 2010 Festival which runs until the 24 October.
The 1805 Club may have initiated events in the North East but appropriately for a local hero, as opposed to a national hero like Nelson, it has been the Northumbrians who have come together so splendidly to celebrate one of their own.
