The Institute Controlling Council held their Annual Controlling Council in Dublin on the 9th 10th & 11th November, 2015.

The more senior members of the branch may remember the name London & Rochester Trading Co. which in their time, managed a number of the Crescent Shipping vessels which formed such a major part of the British and Short Sea scene for many years.

The Company name was recalled when it appeared on a vehicle in the photograph above taken by Alan Humphries at this year's Dorset Steam Fair.
