Castaways' Club : ウィキペディア英語版 | Castaways' Club
The Castaways' Club is a dining club for retired Warfare officers (previously known as Executive or Seaman officers) of the Royal Navy who left the service whilst still junior officers, typically with the rank of Lieutenant or Lieutenant Commander. The club has no permanent rooms but meets once a year for dinner to which members invite guests who must be serving or retired Warfare officers. ==History==
The Castaways' Club was founded in 1895 'for the purpose of promoting social intercourse between gentlemen who had resigned their commissions as Executive Officers of Her Majesty’s Navy and who were desirous of keeping in touch with their former Service'.〔Castaways' Club Members and Rules book 2012〕 The Club has a considerable collection of mess silver which has been donated by guests and members since the Club was founded. This includes a silver cup presented to the club in 1908 by His Majesty King George V who was a frequent guest when Prince of Wales.
