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.

Chester: Spouses Are Now Able to Use the Gymnasium on Camp

Spouses on The Dale.

The Commanding Officer 2 YORKS has announce in this month's newsletter that the gymnasium will now be made available after 11:30am Monday to Friday (not restricted at weekends) to spouses who are over 18 years old, have personal accident insurance, have a camp pass and have conducted an induction with the Physical Training Instructor (PTI).

Joe will be in the Welfare office on Thursday 09th March 2023 from 10:00am onwards for all those that want to get a camp pass.

Be aware that the PTI will ask to see a copy of your personal accident insurance before conducting an induction so it's best to have one handy.

If you have any queries about this, please call or visit the Welfare office during our working hours.
