HULL & DISTRICT BRANCH OF THE WORLD SHIP SOCIETY The Hull & District Branch of
the World Ship Society hold regular monthly meetings on a Friday at the Danish Church,
Osborne Street, Hull. A guest speaker attends
most meetings and presentations usually include slides or a video. The 2011 programme is
detailed below and is advertised in the Hull Mail and through a link found on
www.quaysides.co.uk. Why join the local branch of the
World Ship Society? ~ The Society is
suitable for anyone interested in ships – young or old, male or female. Some members have a professional background,
others are enthusiasts but the common factor is they are all ship enthusiasts! The meetings are a great opportunity
for members to meet with others to share their maritime interests. The committee aim to provide programme of interest
to all members. New members are always welcome. A quarterly journal is produced
called HUMBER LIGHT, which includes local shipping news, current and historic
articles. The editor welcomes members’
contributions for publication. The Danish Church is situated at the
corner of Ferensway and Osborne Street, near the City Centre. Car parking is available on
the site and the bus terminus and railway station are within walking distance. Meetings
start at 7.30pm and the Danish Church provide refreshments afterwards. The annual membership fee is £8.00
per person (renewed every March) and members who attend meetings pay £1.00 on the evening
they attend. Visitors are welcome to attend
two meetings to find out what the Society is about and whether or not they would like to
join. Meetings
normally take place on a Friday but sometimes there is a planned meeting elsewhere. The
