The NAVAL AND MILITARY INTEREST GROUP meets in the AIGS Library on the second Monday of each month (February to November inclusive) at 7.30 p.m. We are a new Group, and the first to be formed on other than a geographical area basis. It is our intention to cover all aspects of naval and military research, from the Russian War (Crimean War) of 1854-1856 to the First World War and its aftermath. Our Group is in its infancy, and we have no set format for our meetings, but on all meeting evenings we will enjoy some light refreshments, and the Library will remain open until 10.00 p.m. so that members can continue their research in a quiet and supportive environment. We will keep in touch with all our Group’s members, whether on e-mail or not, with a regular Newsletter.

If you have a family connection with someone who served in the Navy or the Army of any Empire or Commonwealth country then please join us. You are assured of a warm welcome to our meetings, and AIGS members are always welcome to attend our meetings on a casual basis. Whatever stage you are at with your research you will be welcome – you certainly DO NOT need to have 'special knowledge,' 'special interest' or 'special skills' to join us.
