Thought I would add an entry seeing as no-one has for some time now!

Our annual Reunion Dinner is fast approaching so watch for a reminder from the Webmaster about venue and date!

This is a great event and gives us the opportunity to meet up with former shipmates who we thought we would never meet again. It is a very relaxing and informal affair so try and make it along!

Many happy memories of times both afloat and ashore with SSM. Still recall that voyage on the Baa-aaron Napier of Scottish Sheep Management when we took all those sheep from Fremantle to Jeddah. It was different!
