History


The Fellowship was launched in Gloucestershire in April 1978 and started here in 1982 through the efforts of the late Captain Wills Hawthorne, the first Chairman and later President of the N.I. Region. Membership stands at around 1700 making Northern Ireland the biggest Region, by far, in the United Kingdom and we have a number of members who live outside Northern Ireland - in the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, the USA and the Netherlands.
