The CrowsNest was an Naval Officers Club once frequented by many Naval and Air Force personnel during the 2nd World War. It was established in 1942 and houses a 1000 or more military artifacts, many dating to the 2nd world war. It is believed we have the largest collection of Gunshield Art. The CNMAA is a recognized museum association , set up to conserve, preserve and protect the many existing artefacts.
The CNMAA was incorporated in 1988 for three purposes;
(1) To own all the historic artifacts of the Club as distinct from other Club property.
(2) To maintain, protect and document the artifacts.
(3) To become a charitable organisation and raise funds to help in the protection and maintenance of the artifacts.
