- Wednesday November 26th End year dinner. We like to link this convivial and companionable end -year dinner in the handsome Library of the Army and Navy Club ( affectionally called by members in the days after the foundation in 1835 with Wellington as founding patron, ‘The Rag’ ) with our long adopted Charitable Trust www.ulyssestrust.co.uk ‘challenging the young leaders of tomorrow’. The cost will be a simple single price of just £95 all inclusive, with a Ulysses guest supporter speaker. The list of adventurers linked to the Trust is a formidable one. With Any surplus on the costs go back to the trust. It is noticeable that over the years many T-L.com members have quietly helped this increasingly important Trust, founded with HM the King as founding Patron in 1992, with a groundbreaking First British Winter Assault of Everest. And these donations are always appreciated, but these dinners are NOT overt fundraisers. More a steady building of senior management awareness of the critical role that cadets and reservists are increasingly playing, as we all wake up to the brutal ending of the ‘peace dividend’, which arrived as a result of the collapse of the USSR. Now the relentless revival of Russian aggression against Ukrainians shows us the price of the freedoms we all enjoy. Freedoms which those citizens of countries ruled by autocrats definitely do not enjoy.
