It was the Royal Institute of Navigation’s Annual General Meeting yesterday and I got to shake hands with Prince Philip as he presented me with my fellowship certificate. I am now allowed to put FRIN at the end of my name, which is very nice and a great honour but not something that will find its way to the end of my emails very often. Hopefully that explains what all the weird acronyms in the title are though.

Out of curiosity, I just searched Twitter for ‘Royal Institute of Navigation’ and much to my pleasant surprise found the following entry:

britishmonarchy: On 15 Jul: The Duke of Edinburgh – Patron, Royal Institute of Navigation, will attend the Annual General… http://www.royal.gov.uk/

1 day ago from Royal Household

The Royals are tweeting! Innit? Respect…

All the best,

Tristan FRIN (oops, sorry, it just slipped out, honest…)

PS. The photo is from last year’s AGM, this year’s aren’t out yet.

I opened some very usual letters this morning and then one very unusual and nice one telling me that I have been elected to Fellowship of the Royal Institute of Navigation, “In recognition of his demonstration and promotion of natural navigation techniques and his personal achievements.”

As starts to the week go, that’s right up there.
