The Club has been running continuously and successfully for 58 years. Many of our members have a connection with the sea, or have worked in the maritime industry. Some belong to local Yacht Clubs and others are serving or ex-professional seafarers from the RAN, RN, RANR and MN etc.. Where-as others have not had the opportunity to go to sea, but have a lively interest in the historical and professional advancement of the service and industry, and incorporates that unique comradeship which exists amoungst seafarers.

A Club Dinner is held on the third Wednesday of every month. We hold our meetings at various venues around town. A Dinner Notice is issued early in the month, indicating where, when, the guest speaker and the nature and subject of their talk. The form of the dinner is loosely based on a formal Naval Mess Dinner, with the President and Vice President, supervising at the appropriate times a series of protocols and toasts, which include the Grace, the Passing of the Port, the Loyal Toast and several other toasts peculiar to our Club.

Guest speakers are invited to talk on some specialised subject each month. These talks are predominantly of a nautical nature but subjects of general and community interest are also enjoyed as well. Check out our ‘Club Diary’ page for future meetings and talks. We currently have an active membership of 43 or so, with an average attendance of 32 each month at our dinners. members are able to invite guests who can become potential members. Some members live interstate and overseas and attend dinner meetings when they happen to be in Adelaide.
