To any ex Members of HMS Antrim Ships Companies who would like to join the Antrim Association.

The association has no ranks, is relaxed and wants all ex-Antrims and partners to feel very welcome and part of the family. Reunion weekends need plenty of recovery time and gives everyone a chance to spin that special dit one more time. On a serious note we are all there to carry on the spirit of the Antrim, see our shipmates increase and enjoy the very good company.

Join us soon.

Andy Coad. Chairman. Antrim Association

At some time during the weekend I was "press ganged" by some Welsh gnome and his "mates" and found myself hauled in front of the annual meeting and voted as your new vice chairman. I hope to support Andy in his role as Chairman and am currently looking to promote someone as chief beggar to take over the running of the raffle. All offers willingly cosidered. All the best shipmates and look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Ray "Frankie" Howard. Vice Chair. Antrim association

" I would encourage all ex-Antrims to join the association. It is for all ranks & anyone who has an intrest in HMS ANTRIM. The annual reunion weekend is not to be missed. Go on give us a try. So many people have said that they wished they had joined sooner...."
