Join the MNA North Wales Branch for comradeship and remembrance
14 August 2023
We would like to extend a warm invitation to Nautilus members to join the North Wales Branch of the Merchant Navy Association ahead of our autumn remembrance events.
We will be parading our colours and laying wreaths for Merchant Navy Day on 3 September and Remembrance Sunday on 12 November at the war memorial in Llandudno.
In addition to taking part in events like these, we hold branch meetings at 1200hrs on the second Wednesday of every month in the Ex-Servicemen's & Friends' Social Club in Vaughan Street in Llandudno, where we can enjoy a pint and sandwiches in a designated meeting room. The club offers good facilities and access for those with restricted mobility.
Our get-togethers are primarily an informal gathering of friends with similar interests and backgrounds, although we have a very brief meeting with an agenda and minutes. We often have speakers, raffles and quizzes at the meeting and occasional coach trip visit to places of maritime interest.
Please contact mnanorthwales@gmail.com or telephone 07771 888 328 for further details and to obtain an application to join our very worthwhile association.
We look forward to you ‘signing on’.
Dave Creamer

It’s never right to attack civilian seafarers
I was saddened to see the footage of the attack by Ukraine on the two tankers in the Black Sea on 29 November. My heart goes out to the crew and officers who are, in my mind, not combatants in the Russia/Ukraine war.
There's no crisis in the yacht sector
I read Rob Coston's interview with yacht sector recruitment agent Max Lee on your website and found it sensationalist. In my opinion, it incorrectly described the situation regarding safety in yachting as a 'crisis'.
Expertise needed for my student cybersecurity survey
I am a first-year cadet, with experience as a rating, who is conducting a survey on the shipside adaptation of cybersecurity practices, and I would be extremely grateful if fellow Nautilus members could complete a short survey for me.
