Army HIVE Christmas and New Year Closures

The majority of Army HIVEs will be closed after duties on Fri 19 Dec 25 and will reopen on Mon 5 Jan 26. There may be localised variations to these dates for individual HIVEs.

Army HIVE HQ is also closed during the festive fortnight, so any enquiries submitted via the ‘If you need further information’ MS Forms function on our UK, Cyprus or Overseas blogs will be answered when we return in the New Year.

We will periodically cover private messages on our Army HIVE Facebook platform (and X/Instagram where possible) whilst we are closed. However, this will not be 24/7 and should not be relied upon for anything that requires an urgent response.

To support our customers with more immediate requirements however, the Army HIVE HQ email will provide a comprehensive out of office autoreply, detailing points of contact that are either 24/7, emergency providers, or open over the festive leave fortnight. To receive this autoreply, please email:
RC-Pers-HIVEComms-0Mailbox@mod.gov.uk

Individual HIVEs will also provide localised contact details for Christmas and New Year cover wherever possible in their automated replies. Therefore, if you email your closest HIVE, which you can find on HIVE’s page on the Army website, their autoreply may be of additional assistance.

Army HIVE wishes all of its Service community customers, and our internal and external stakeholders, a very happy Christmas and New Year. We look forward to continuing our support and engagement in 2026.

Brunssum Book Club details:
    When: Usually the first or last Monday of each month from 7:30pm-9pm
    Where: The NSE Cafe, in the UK NSE Building (H-603) on JFC Brunssum.

Our next meet-up is Monday 26th January 2026 to talk about our December and January books.

Our December and January books are:
A very woodsy murder by Ellen Byron
Joyland by Stephen King

Our book club is very informal and there is no pressure to read the book each month. As long as you enjoy reading then you'll fit right in!
We have a dedicated WhatsApp book club chat where we can talk all things books and put forward our suggestions for our monthly book pick, which is chosen by a majority vote every month.
