The Navy Caravan & RV Division of the Brisbane Sub Section of the Naval Association of Australia (Matelots on Tour) is an initiative to provide an avenue for Naval Veterans who are travelling around this great nation to stay connected and partake in the hospitality of Naval Association Sub Sections around Australia on their journeys or coordinate banyans on the road with others
Membership is open to any who satisfy the Naval Association membership requirements.
We recognise that Navy Veterans are blocking up traffic right across the breadth and width of this country and many find it hard to join a Sub Section due to their location or desire not to be involved in the regular routine of club life.
Matelots on Tour Division aims to do a number of things:
· Bring younger members into the Naval Association of Australia
· Unite and develop comradeship among all former and serving Naval personnel
· Promote and assist activities in the wider naval community in order to improve the health and well-being of that community.
· Provide for serving and ex-serving members an avenue to be connected and rekindle old mateships
· Provide a method of national recognition of naval service amongst those beetling around Australia
· Provide members with access to excellent advocacy & advisory service that the Naval Association provides on pensions, disabilities & welfare issues
Members must be current members of the Naval Association - initial entry is via the Brisbane Sub Section which is sponsoring the initiative. We hope to gather interested Matelots on Tour Division in each state that can then work with other local Naval Associations Sub Sections to ensure that the Association continues into the future.
Members will receive:
Separate Membership Fees will be payable to Matelots on Tour Division which will incorporate the Annual Naval Association National, State & Sub Section membership fees.
