Fleet Base Gulf Waters:

Fleet Base Gulf Waters (SA) can be contacted at – gulfwaters@taskforce72.org

Adelaide, South Australia


FBGW originally started with only one (1) member, our current State Co - ordinator. After a few years of holding meetings in the local phone box, & sick & tired of talking to himself, rang a fellow member in HQ who informed him of another new member, which inturn led to the discovery of two (2) more new members. So, after several phone calls, all met at our State Co - ordinators abode for a sausage sizzle & refreshments.

A few months later after dicussions with HQ, our Fleet Base was formed & have since recruited two (2) new members, with a possible 2 more in the pipeline.

2009 also saw us start to organize infrequent running days for the members & the greater association. After hearing of an upcoming model display & a few phone calls, were invited to put some models on display, which we duly did & raised a few eyebrows as to the amount of time & effort that goes into building our vessels. Subsequently we are on the annual list of associations to show their models at this event, which is held on the last full weekend of October, each year.
