	The Tristan da Cunha Association was formed early in 1987 and officially launched at an inaugural meeting at the Royal Geographical Society in London on April 15th that year.
Mission Statement The Tristan da Cunha Association exists to serve the people of Tristan da Cunha in whatever way they request and to foster good relations with them, also to promote interest in the Tristan archipelago with its unique fauna and flora. In doing so, it is hoped to encourage friendship amongst its members.
Organisation The Association is organised by a committee of members elected at an annual general meeting held normally in April. Membership is open to all who have an interest in Tristan da Cunha and consists of Tristan Islanders (resident and overseas), former expatriates who have worked on Tristan, and many visitors and friends throughout the world. The committee publish a Newsletter twice yearly which is distributed free to members including all Tristan families.
Membership and Products New members are always welcome to join this unique association. Follow the link to the Association Shop page which gives details of membership, a range of products and link to an order form in easy-to-print black and white format for you to print out and return. Members are sent newsletters twice yearly, binders and additional copies can be purchased, Tristan pupil designed Christmas cards are on sale, and tickets can be booked for Association events.
Future Plans The Association has expanded its membership and activities recently organising : residential Annual Gatherings; impressive quincentenary events (RMS St Helena Cruise, House of Lords Reception, Royal Geographical Society Dinner); launching an Education Trust Fund with a target of £100,000; launching a joint website with the Tristan Government; and expanding and improving its newsletter. It invites new members to join in and help us fulfil the aims of the Association.
