FULMAR ASSOCIATION

 
 
Volunteers Required.........

The HMS Fulmar Association are looking for volunteers who wish to be considered for the following posts:

Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Events Secretary and Merchandiser (Slops)..... anyone wishing to apply please contact Hughie Williams at hugh.williams0805@tiscali.co.uk


Following a very successful reunion to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of HMS Fulmar being handed over to the RAF over the weekend of 22/24th June 2007 it was decided that we would proceed with the formation of an independent association away from the Buccaneer association who had organized the 2007 event. This would then open up the membership criteria to anyone who had served at Fulmar in any capacity at any time. As the attendance at the 2007 event was just over 220 it was felt that this was enough of a start to begin to recruit and build up a membership database. With the FAABA members who has served at Lossiemouth included, the membership potential was already in excess of 300 people. Hughie Williams who lives in Elgin has offered to act as Chairman and Dave Clark who is also Secretary of the FAABA has agreed to act as Secretary until the formation of an elected committee at the first AGM which, it is hoped, will be held sometime in 2009. However if anyone wishes to volunteer their services in any capacity in the meanwhile I for one will not object!

Presentation of an engraved bell to the WO & SNCO’s Mess HMS Fulmar


 Dave Clark, the secretary of the FAABA, returned to the WO & SNCO Mess on the 23rd July 2008 and presented WO Dianne McLeish, the CMC, with a beautiful brass hand bell as a thank you to the mess for allowing them to hold this memorable function here. Dave once again acknowledged that the mess had been excellent hosts for the evening and the members of the association had been delighted at having the opportunity to return to RAF Lossiemouth after such a long period. Mr Hughie Williams the Chairman, of the recently reformed HMS Fulmer Association also attended the presentation. The CMC rang the bell to celebrate its arrival and to signal “Toofers” before placing it behind the Top Bar (the old Petty Officers Mess) where hopefully it will be rung many more times by the members of the mess
