But its numbers are dwindling and members fear they could be forced to fold if they cannot get more people through the doors.

Hide AdGordon Campbell, who was in the Royal Corps of Transport for than 22 years, said: “We have about 40 members on the books but due to ill health the numbers have been dwindling at our meetings.
“We have our annual dinner in October and try to arrange dinner nights or away days every year.
“If we can bolster the numbers in our association this would enable us to organise more events.”
And he added: “The sad thing is, that if we cannot make this happen, the association might fold like so many others have done so around the country.
