Each year the Club, together with most other worldwide Royal Clubs and Commonwealth navies, we celebrate the Battle of Trafalgar and for the Royal Natal Yacht Club the commemoration forms the highlight of the club’s social calendar. With a men only black tie event taking the format of a formal Naval Mess Dinner the evening is filled with tradition and a certain amount of pomp and ceremony which to the uninitiated might appear a little daunting and perhaps even a little over the top but it is probably Durban’s last remaining formal dinner hosted on an annual basis. This year our celebrity Chef, Charlie Lakin, is set to produce, yet again, an outstanding meal fitting for the grandeur of the occasion.
Here is a link to an article by Britain Magazine entailing who Lord Nelson was, what happened during the Battle of Trafalgar, and various celebratory events. We are now celebrating the 214th Anniversary of the Victory of Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar and hope to see our Royal Natal Gentlemen in fine form for the celebratory evening. Members may book here or by contacting the office on 031 301 5425 or Shaneé on [email protected]
