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: Brunssum International Club

 

Brunssum International Club is a thriving organisation of over 200 members with all NATO nations and some partner nations represented.

The Club hosts a coffee and culture morning once a month, which is a chance to get together, enjoy a chat and a coffee and sample food from the hosting delegation. However, there’s much more on offer!

The Club has a number of Activity groups from Dog Friendly Walking to French Conversation, Pilates to Arts and Crafts. They also have a dedicated team who arrange trips throughout the year from Delft and Keukenhof to the Coffee Roastery and Cocktail Making.

If you want to spread your wings and make friends outside of the UK community, the International Club is a great, friendly place to start. Click on the sign up link below to view
