The Alma Doepel Supporters Club was formed in 1976, with the aim of supporting the Alma Doepel in whatever ways were practical and achievable. At one time the ADSC numbered almost a thousand signed up members. A lot of these members joined as a result of participating in a cruise in Port Phillip, therefore (naturally) many of these were "one-time" members. Nevertheless, many remained staunch, and now that Alma has fallen on comparatively hard times, those that have remained as members are working toward encouraging past members to re-join the ADSC. Our current president, Capt Ralph McDonell, was one of the original members almost thirty years ago, and is the author of the book "ALMA DOEPEL - The History of An Australian Schooner - 1903 - 1975". The book has been out of print for some years now, however we are currently trying to gauge public interest in having the book reprinted. As this is not a cheap exercise, and all of our dollars are "hard won", if you are interested in purchasing a copy please let us know. Fees are still only $20 for single and $30 for family membership, and a membership form is included in this website. All it takes is to print it out, fill it in and post it with a cheque! Click Here for our Membership Application Form. The ADSC meets each first Thursday of the month, at about 7.30pm, at the Port Community Education Centre, 343-383 Lorimer Street, Port Melbourne.
