Benefits of Joining TCA
The advantages and facilities available through TCA are described in the Factsheet, next to the Membership Application Form, which can be downloaded from below.
ELIGIBILITY
Full Membership of TCA is open to anyone who served for 24 hours in a TON in whatever rank or specialisation.
Associate Membership is available for those who served in a support role or have other MCM Experience or Interests.
Associate Members can participate in all TCA activities and serve on the Management Committee
Did you serve in a River, Hunt or Sandown MCMV?
Following the announcement that specialised minehunter vessels are to be phased out of service, and replaced by robotic systems and equipment, TCA has extended its membership to those who served in other classes of MCMVs e.g.: Rivers, Hunts and Sandowns.
TCA has always been open to, and derives great strength from, members of all specialisations who shared the close bonds and occasional perils, of the world of mine countermeasures, including gunners, communicators, engineers, electricians, cooks, stewards, watchkeeping officers and members of the Royal Naval Reserve.
We especially welcome serving members of the RN, RNR and RFA.
KEEPING IN TOUCH
TCA members keep in touch via our magazine TON Talk, the TCA website and Facebook page.
We also have and active regional group in Yorkshire - the White Rose Branch, and hope soon to re-establish the groups in Scotland and other regions.
All members receive our magazine TON Talk, each quarter in March, June, September and December.
We hold an Annual Reunion, alternating the venue north and south each year. In 2024 the Reunion will be held in Harrogate over the weekend 11-14th October.
