The Revenue Cutter Association was formed in 1978 to bring together the crews and associates of Her Majesty's Revenue Cutters.
These are the modern high speed patrol craft crewed by Border Force officers combating smuggling around the United Kingdom coastline.
Membership is exclusive to HM Customs & Excise, HM Revenue & Customs or Border Force officers who have served on HM Revenue Cutters, or HM Customs Cutters.
