About us |

The Castle Class Corvette (Frigate) Association
was founded in 1989 with the object of keeping alive the memory of these unique
vessels and the comradeship of the crews. As there were many members who served
in Flower Class vessels there was some dialogue about making a Corvette
Association which would combine the two but, in the end, it was felt better to
keep them separate.
The Association is a small but active group
currently with just under 300 members. We produce a newsletter, Ship's Log,
which is well subscribed with articles from members about service, items of
interest and news of events and happenings linked to the Royal Navy. We
commission items with the Association badge for sale to members, which are
popular. One of our aims is to document the history of the Castles using the
memories and personal photographs of those who served aboard. Our Archivist is
gatherings material for this purpose. Above all we foster the comradeship of
those who served both in war and peace.
The highlight of our social
calendar is the Reunion of members, which is usually held in September and
spans a weekend. Old comrades meet and friendships are formed or renewed. It is
at the Reunion that the business of the Association takes place and Officers
are elected for the following year - Chairman, Secretary,Treasurer, Archivist,
Membership Secretary/Editor of Ship's Log.
