Membership of the Association is open to past and present members of the Royal Air Force Music Services, and other members of the RAF who have played in the many Voluntary Bands. There is also a class of Associate Member which is open to their families and friends, and to anyone who has a particular interest in Royal Air Force music or in military bands in general. Members receive the Association’s journal The Blue and the Gold, which is published twice a year, and notice of the annual reunion, which is usually held in July.
