Meanwhile:
New North Wales Branch.
The Merchant Navy Association
Hello Everyone,
Belated St David's Day to you all. I little about myself now I am Vice Chair to the MNA. I started at sea on the 4th October 1972 joining a relatively small BP Tanker called British Hawthorn. Sixteen years old, never been kissed and struggling to shave. It must have the right choice because I stayed and enjoyed it for 45 years the last 28 as Master. Now retired I am itching for normality and to be getting out to drop in on the various branches and chat with you all. So I will be keeping this page current and hope you all share your stories with us. We have a healthy number following this page so we have to make it interesting.
I am going to set up a group for members, but that will be just to allow branches to inform each other of the various meetings and activities.
Here in North Wales we cannot wait to get our branch up and running.
Stay Safe
Yours aye
Ian
