Frequently ex Cardigan Bay crew who are not members of the Association, but who still wish to
remain in contact with their old pals visit our Guest Book to see if any of their old mates have left
an entry. If you do leave an entry, be sure to make a regular check of the Guest Book in case there
has been a reply. To those who do use the Guest Book but are not members, why not join the
Association? We have a full and up-to-date list of all our members and their contact details,
it only costs £5-00 a year, the price of a pint!
