Hail and Farewell 2025

If you are an officer who has recently left or is due to leave the Army later this year, or if you have recently commissioned into the Royal Regiment as a Late Entry Officer,

As you may recall we like to dine out those officers who are leaving the Army at the annual Hail & Farewell Dinner and at the same time we welcome Late Entry Officers into the Officers mess. 

This year the Hail & Farewell Dinner is scheduled for Thu 19 Jun 25, it will take place in the RA Mess at Larkhill,

We would very much welcome the opportunity to dine with you together with your spouse or partner. Timings are 1900 for 1930 and the dress is Black Tie with no medals or decorations.

The Master Gunner will preside at the meal, and you are very welcome to invite others if you so wish (but at your expense).

The evening is relaxed and informal and you can be reasonably sure of finding yourself in the company of many of your contemporaries.

Please email carla.brawn100@mod.gov.uk if you are able to attend.
