The Medmenham Association

The aims of the Association are to keep serving and retired PIs/IAs - and those who have worked closely with the profession over the years - in touch; to encourage excellence in the field of imagery intelligence, and to promote the achievements of the profession. The Association holds an annual reunion and general meeting, which usually includes a lunch, a guest speaker and the award of the Medmenham Trophy to an outstanding IA professional. The Social Secretary also arranges bi-annual visits, events, lunches or dinners. Members, partners and friends are welcome to attend all Association functions.

Membership of the Association is open to all serving and retired photographic interpreters and imagery analysts of all ranks and from all branches of the Armed Services, the Voluntary Reserve and the Civil Service. Associate membership is also available to applicants who have worked in a supporting role or had a close working association with the PI/IA profession. Association membership stands at well over 300 active members.
