Welcome to the Artillery Clerks' Association website.
The Artillery Clerks' Association was formed at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich Garrison on Saturday 7th March 1998.
Providing a focal point, it is essentially an old comrades association of former Artillery Clerks, either serving or retired, promoting comradeship amongst its members.
Each year the Association holds reunions in the UK and Germany. The last UK reunion was held in the WO's & Sgts' Mess at Larkhill over the weekend 10-12th June 2022.
The next Reunion Dinner is to be held in the Central Sergeants' Mess, Larkhill on Saturday 24th June 2023. The Master Gunner, Lt Gen Sir Andrew Gregory KBE CB DL will be our Principal Guest of Honour. Further reunion information can be found on the Reunion Weekend page within this website.
The Artillery Clerks' Association is affiliated to and is a branch of the Royal Artillery Association (RAA). All members of the Artillery Clerks' Association are granted life membership of the RAA on acceptance.
Association Silver Piece Project
Preamble
At the 2023 AGM held on 7th March 2023, the Chairman and Secretary shared details touching on the Silver Centrepiece commissioned by the Association to honour the service of all the thousands of Artillery Clerks since 1903, to coincide with the 25th Anniversary of the formation of the Association in 1998 and 120 years after the conception of the Artillery Clerks' Section in 1903.
Fundraising Initiative
The fundraising campaign launched immediately after the 2022 AGM is now coming to an end. The Silver Centrepiece is currently in the production phase and is expected to be completed by the middle of May.
The deadline for personal contributions towards this milestone project is Monday 3rd April 2023. So far 53 members, 8 honorary members (include our 4 Honorary Presidents) and 12 submissions in the name of former members, have supported this initiative.
