Royal Navy Presentation
On Thursday 28th July the Royal Navy came to visit us at Oxford BSAC to give us a talk on what the Navy do.The evening consisted of a fast action film presentation intermingled with facts and figures given by 4 members of the Royal Navy and Marines. It was very interesting and I think we all learnt a lot about the Navy by the end of the evening.
Oxford BSAC is lucky enough to have a clubhouse which is used for lectures, pre-dive meetings, social nights and equipment storage including our own compressor, but the clubhouse costs us quite a bit to rent each year.
