About The Association

  Following an abortive attempt to form a County Class Association in 2013, a number of former crew members got together at
a reunion held in April 2015 to further discuss the idea. The proposal was unanimously agreed and a Steering Committee was
formed to carry the idea forward.

Following many E-mails, private messages and Skype conference calls, the “County Class Destroyers Association” came into
being on ​1st August 2015 headed by a Steering Committee, which consisted of the following members:

Danny Shea: Chair / Facebook Admin
Martin Slater: Secretary / Webmaster / e-Magazine Editor
Paula Moon: Membership Secretary
Graham Linton: Deputy Membership Secretary
Tony Latter: Treasurer
David Simnett: Recruitment

Others who helped set up the Association and are worthy of mention are:

Anthony Davies
Vic Hocking
Roy Mitchell
David Simnett
Tony 'Mr. Reunion' Smith
Tod 'Scouse' Torrens
Jim Worlding

and we would like to thank them for their invaluable input during the set-up period.

​
The primary purpose of The Association is to perpetuate the esprit de corps and comradeship amongst former
ships companies of all eight of the County Class Destroyers, to keep them in touch with each other in a
manner which respects both individual privacy and personal requirements.

​
In furtherance of this primary purpose, the secondary objectives are : -

(a)  to create and maintain a central database of entitled veteran’s names and addresses in accordance with
The Data Protection Act (1998)

(b)  to allow Members to re-establish contact with each other via a central organisation

(c)  to publish an e-Magazine which will contain items of interest to the Membership and draw attention
​to forthcoming dates of interest as well as important issues affecting The Associations interests

(d)  to organise an annual Reunion to be held on a date and at a venue to be decided
