NOW that the membership of the Y.L.A. is approaching 10,000 it is hoped to form social branches of the Association in different parts of the country. These will not be fund-raising branches but will provide an opportunity for members in a particular area to get together from time to time, possibly for a dinner or cocktail party or else quite informally.

All Y.L.A. members will, as always, be most welcome at the R.N.L.I.'s stand at the International Boat Show at Earl's Court from 5th to 15th January. If you have any ideas please let us know at the stand or in writing..
