From The Web site RAN Gollies

Hi,

I'm an ex RAN Gollie who runs the Australian Gollies Forum (www.gollies.net.au). Our branch was disbanded over a decade ago and the EW's integrated into the Ops Room crew as non-specialists. During our time as specialists EWs we had many RN Gollie changeovers, especially on our formation in 1973, when there were no experienced EW's in our Navy.

In October 2007 we held a very successful RAN Gollie reunion and I'm organising the next one for 2010.

Recently an ex-RN Gollie requested to be registered for our forum, which is a restricted forum with registration only being available on my approval. He stated it was a pity there was not a Gollies Forum for the RN, and it occurred to me it would be a good idea to include the RN Gollies on our Forum. One of our RN changeovers, Bob Brooke, who was also one of the very first British Gollies, said he would be willing to be admin for the Brits. If necessary I could also give admin privileges to one of your people to run the registrations and moderate the forum.

The forum allows and easy way of posting messages, having chats and sharing images and stories. If you wanted I could create an RN section and even parts that are only visible to RN members. But I'm trying to have the site as being open for all.

If you are interested please email me and I can put you onto Bob Brooke and we can get the ball rolling on this.

Regards,

Adriaan
