About us

    We believe something in the region of 70,000 boys passed through the Sharpness establishment; so far we have found close on 5000.

    We have a membership of some 2,700, spanning 17 countries, the majority of whom live in the UK. Annual UK Membership costs just £5.00 with a Life Membership option of £50 . For  Overseas Independent Members it is £8.00, but for those paying their TSVA Subs through an Overseas Branch, they are £4. For members living within the the EU, they are £6.

    All members receive three newsletters, full of interesting, amusing, and memory stirring items, each year.

    We have established many branches of the Association in the UK; there are also branches in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

    The big event each year is our annual reunion, which is held in Sharpness. It is attended by several hundred members, and is always a memorable occasion. The two day programme includes a church service on both days, tea and tabnabs on the church lawn, evening entertainment, a slide show of those beautiful ships we knew, and much more; but it is mainly about memories and 'swinging the lamp'. Wives, of course, are very welcome, and many attend.

     Vindiboys living Downunder have their own Reunion each November which is hosted in rotation  by branches in Australia and New Zealand.
