Gordon Messenger Centre

The ‘Gordon Messenger Centre - Enabling a More Resilient RM Family’ (GMC) is an MOD facility, situated outside the wire, opposite CTCRM; geographically convenient for those locally-based, whilst providing the opportunity to enhance existing CTCRM-events attracting the wider Corps-family.

Your community hub

A New Hub for the entire Royal Marines Family. Situated just on the other side of the road from CTCRM.

The centre will support serving Royal Marines, Veterans, their Families and the wider RM Community through a variety of events, activities and groups. Some of these are regular activities, others are based around want and demand.
