The Falkland Islands Association brings together those
who support the continuing freedom of the people of the Falkland
Islands. Its Constitution states that its objectives are:
"To assist the people of the Falkland Islands to decide their
own future for themselves without being subjected to pressure direct or
indirect from any quarter."
The Association is independent, but maintains close links with many
other Falklands organisations. It is a major source of information
about the Falklands. It publishes a newsletter, which all members
receive, covering political and social events in the Islands, wildlife,
tourism, philately, and many other subjects. It welcomes interest
in the Falklands and invites all those who share its aims to become
members.
(Individual members annual subscription £15, Pensioners
and Students £5, Corporate members minimum £50, Corporate Sponsorship
£500 - prices correct as at May 2006)
Come And Join Us! (Newsletter 86, March 2004)
As the Argentine Government intensifies pressure on the Falkland
Islands in its campaign to impose itself on the Islanders and snatch
away their British heritage, it is as essential as ever that their
supporters in Britain keep up their counter campaign. It must be
wrong to surrender 2,900 British subjects to any country, let alone one
so discredited by bankruptcy and corruption. That is why the
Falkland islands Association maintains constant vigilance and seeks your
backing. The more members we have, the stronger is our voice to
challenge Argentina's demands and support the Islanders. We have
recently had a surge of new members, raising total membership to 1,029,
made up of 924 UK members and 105 overseas. If you value freedom
and self-determination, we repeat our invitation: Come and Join
us!
