| The Association of Royal Navy Officers (ARNO)
is both a Charitable Trust and a Membership Association for serving
and retired commissioned officers of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines,
Queen Alexandra’s Royal Naval Nursing Service, the former Women’s
Royal Naval Service and their respective reserves.
The Association was formed in 1920 with the principal objective
of recovering retired pay that was withheld from naval officers who
had been recalled to service in the 1914-1918 War. The Association
was re-constituted in 1925 and has evolved over the years to meet
the changing needs of the members. Today ARNO has over 8,000
members.
The Objectives of ARNO today:
- To provide a means for officers to keep in contact and
mutually support each other.
- To offer members a range of activities, benefits and
services which result in savings which comfortably outstrip the
amount of the annual subscription.
- To help and advise members, their wives, widows and
dependents who are in need or distress of any kind.
The Association is administered by a Council which comprises
serving and retired officers from all arms of the Royal Naval
Service. On-line
membership application is now available Please check
eligibility for membership before
submitting an application and don't forget to send a completed
Bankers Order by post as soon as possible after submitting your application. |
