In the summer of 1977, Mike Morley with Colin Dellar, Graham Donald and the late Mike Irwin, all having worn the Pursers department braid at some stage of their careers, met up in a  Greenwich wine bar and over an extended lunch floated the idea of a “Pursers’ Association”

The aim was to perpetuate the memory of our time with Union-Castle by organising reunions of our former shipmates every  third year.

The first of these occasions was held at the Albany Hotel in Southampton following the return of Windsor Castle to UK on the conclusion of her final voyage.
