Conway Club
About The Conway Club The Conway Club was founded in 1910 by the late Captain H W Broadbent RD RNR who was at that time Captain Superintendent of HMS Conway. The first President of the Club, for 11 years, was Major Sir Hamilton Gould Adams. Succeeding presidents included an Admiral, an Air Chief Marshal and the poet laureate John Masefield. The main purpose of the Conway Club is to maintain and foster social relationship between former Cadets of the Ship and the Conway shore establishment. Membership Membership of the Club is open to all Cadets who served in the HMS Conway school training ship and are known as Old Conways, providing they completed a full course of training. It is to be hoped that this Website will encourage those Old Conways who have never belonged to join, or who have ceased to belong to rejoin, the Club. Provision is also made in the Club Rules for Honorary membership of the Club, for those who have at any time been closely associated with the Conway or with members of the Club. Membership subscription is GBP15 for full life or GBP5 annually, payable to the Hon. Treasurer on 1st January each year. Please download the following Application Form (Word document) which can be completed and sent via snail mail: Membership_Application.doc (64Kb .doc) Please note that this downloadable Word document may open in your browser, if it does either choose to print the document to be completed by hand or save it to your computer for printing later.

They operate as independent organisations and there is no structural, legal or financial linkage between individual branches and the Conway Club e.g. the Conway Club Committeee listed above has no organisational control over branches. Some are "joint" branches with members from Worcester, Pangbourne and General Botha. Each branch is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who give freely of their time and energies to keep Conway chums in contact and the name Conway alive. Wherever you are in the world you are encouraged to contact your local branch and join the local group. Contact can be made through the branch secretary. The following list of branches is probably not exhaustive. Please do not take offence if your Branch isn't listed, instead take up your pen (or keyboard) and contact us to ensure that you are included in the next update of this website.Pleasew provide details of the Branch Secretary's address, ideally an email address and a phone number that the Secretary is prepared to have broadcast on the website, and a note of planned activities and social events.
