The election of the President, Vice President, members of the executive and committee are held at the Annual General Meeting, which is held prior to the February General Meeting each year.

Social Events:
The association holds frequent social events throughout the year, the two main ones being the Annual Christmas Party and Maritime Reunion. This later event first started in 2005, which has become a firm favourite among our own members and those of other maritime association’s from across our region and beyond, who join with us as our guests for an afternoon of entertainment, reminiscing with friends and shipmates old and new.

Coach parties are organised throughout the year to various destinations, many visiting our sister organisations, renewing and strengthening the bonds of friendship, that have grown between us over the years.

The association is proud that it has held its membership enrolment fee’s to the same cost since it’s founding in 1991 i.e. Annual membership £2.50, plus 50p monthly subscription.
While the Association is based in Hull, its membership covers a much wider area, stretching from the Midlands in the South to North Yorkshire.

So keep in touch with old friends and shipmates and enjoy time together with family and friends, relaxing in congenial surrounding.
