The Association  holds a Convention for its members every two years, providing an opportunity for members to meet, share ideas and enter their models in competitions. 

 Recently, conventions have been held at Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire, at Enkhuizen in Holland,  at Hartlepool, in Bristol, Portsmouth, Windermere, Gloucester, Barnstaple,  Buckler’s Hard in Hampshire,   Chatham Historic Dockyard, and Great Yarmouth venue for the 2018 Convention.
