“First Gain the victory and then make the best use of it you can.” Horatio Nelson 1798 I wrote in my last Dispatch.
This is an exciting time for The 1805 Club because after 25 years of activity, which has consolidated its credibility and reputation, the Club, like the country [post Brexit], is at a threshold. Your Council has been working to respond to the challenges and opportunities this presents and in addition to the changes to the Trafalgar Chronicle it is investing in a revamp of the website, led by Jo Birtwhistle, which will allow for the long-awaited Memorials Log to be published online. We have also commissioned a feasibility study from Commander Garry Spalton RN rtd on a future strategy for The Trafalgar Way. The 1805 Club is now the official custodian of the Trafalgar Way and we are thrilled that Ride the Trafalgar Way is taking place in October. We shall be presenting The New Trafalgar Dispatch to the winning cyclist of each leg. We are also looking at ways to help support this splendid event in future years together with many other organisations along the Way who we are approaching to help us raise its profile. Bill White is masterminding this.
