Further to our SAVE THE DATES message sent in February we are pleased to advise details for the Liverpool reunion event. It will take place on Friday 19 June 2026 from 12:30 onwards at Thomas Rigby's, 23-25 Dale Street, Liverpool.
This is an informal event, open to SCARA and non SCARA members and to ex shore and sea staff and partners. It's not necessary to register but the organisers would appreciate an indication of numbers, so if you are planning to go along an email to Mike Chapman (ponlheritage@gmail.com) would be appreciated.

We hope to see you there.

Invitation 22/03/2026
The 2026 gathering at Thomas Rigby's on Dale Street in Liverpool will take place on Friday 19 June. We will start at 1230 and the meet-up will run for as long as there are people present! It’s an informal ‘do’ with everyone welcome to arrive and leave at times that suit them. As a result, food isn’t being organised centrally but the pub does offer a reasonably-priced menu for those who want to eat.
This invitation goes out to all former shore and sea staff from OCL, P&O Containers, Nedlloyd Lines, P&O Nedlloyd and other associated companies, and their family and friends. There is no requirement to be a SCARA member (though you'd be very welcome to join! - See SCARA membership).
Thomas Rigby’s (23-25 Dale St, Liverpool L2 2EZ) is conveniently close to the city centre and Liverpool Lime Street station.
The equivalent meet-ups in 2024 and 2025 have been well attended and we are hoping to see more familiar faces this year, so if you know anyone who you think might want to come along then please do pass on this note.
While there’s no formal registration, it would be useful to get an idea of how many are likely to attend so those who are interested are asked to drop a quick line please to ponlheritage@gmail.com.
Many thanks and we hope to see you there!
