Welcome and Introduction

The Senior NCOs Services Association was founded in September 1985. Headquartered in Palmerston North, NZ. It currently has 150 members from the three services, who come from all parts of New Zealand, with some members living in Australia and Norfolk Island. Membership is confined to ex Senior NCOs or equivalent from the three armed services within the Commonwealth.

The philosophy of the Association is one of friendship and comradeship between members, with a very strong welfare commitment to the surviving spouses of members, wives and families.

The foundation members of the Association were very much aware of the fact that during our service, we were not always able to include our wives and families in service activities. Therefore at the beginning of the life of this Association, it was resolved unanimously by the foundation members, that the new organisation would include member’s wives and families in all its activities. That philosophy has been strengthened over the years and remains an integral part of the activities of the Ex Senior NCOs Services Association to this day. 

Each month the Association produces a newsletter, titled “The Communicator.”  This is the Association’s life-line. The need to communicate with members on a regular basis is most important to us. Invariably, with the introduction of the Internet; this communication has become a two way line of communication between many of the members far and wide.
