UPDATE 19/07/2025
12-14 Anlaby Road, HU1 2PA
The arrangements for the Saturday afternoon have now changed and the venue is no longer the Minerva. Instead, the start point is Ebenezer Morley's for 'a pub crawl around the old town....'.
(Saturday 2nd August is also the date for Humber Street Sesh, a festival in the Hull Marina area which is accessible by ticket only, and those tickets are £22!).

ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT 08/07/2025
The 15th annual gathering of former company sea staff and their partners takes place in Hull from Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd August. The organisers expect around 40-50 to attend at some point over the three days, most of whom will be members of the 'OCL Bay Boats' Facebook group, but anyone else who sailed on the container ships with OCL, P&O Containers and P&O Nedlloyd is also very welcome to attend.
The event takes place over three days (but you are welcome to come and go as you wish!) The schedule is subject to change, but at the time of writing it reads as follows:
FRIDAY 1 AUGUST
Afternoon: Meet up at the Ebenezer Morley pub (12-14 Anlaby Road, HU1 2PA) which is in the centre of Hull, just a couple of minutes' walk from the Hull railway station.
Evening: To be confirmed but likely to involve visiting some other drinking establishments in the city 😀
SATURDAY 2 AUGUST
Afternoon: Meet at the Minerva pub (Nelson Street, HU1 1XE) which is near the river. (SEE UPDATE ABOVE!)
Evening: Gather at the Tigers Lair (or The Lair, Anlaby Road, HU3 2EF) for the main event, which will involve a disco and karaoke. TBC, but the highlight of the evening may be Stevie Parkinson (POC) and his Elvis tribute 🍺
SUNDAY 3 AUGUST
A day to recover, finish the catch-ups, say those farewells until next year and then head for home.
Anyone who would like to attend and hasn't already registered their interest should contact Julian Shears. If you aren't a member of the OCL Bay Boats Facebook group and don't have Julian's contact details, then please send your email to ponlheritage@gmail.com for forwarding on.
