Welcome to the RANEL Association Web Pages.

I hope your ANZAC Day is enjoyable and that all is well with you.

Best wishes,

Julie Tonurist

The RANEL Association was formed soon after the first ever reunion held at Rushcutters Bay in 1996 – 40 years after the inception of the Royal Australian Navy Experimental Laboratory (RANEL). In 1969 the name was changed from RANEL to the RAN Research Laboratory (RANRL), the organisation having matured from an Experimental Laboratory to a Research Laboratory.

The RANEL Association’s inaugural Annual General Meeting was held in 1998 and the founding President was Allan Thompson. Both the 1996 Reunion and the Association would not have been initiated without the persistence and diligence of Julie and Egon Tonurist. The Association is forging ahead.

We remind you that April is an extra special month for us because this year it marks 51 years from RANEL's inception.

Included in the links below are a message from our Honorary Secretary, our recent Newsletter, some details of past events.
