Although the 44 Club has now officially wound up and there is no Head Office any longer, the website will continue for at least the next 12 months - December 2026.

​Depending on the interest shown it could continue for 24 months but we will see how it goes! Please continue to email Elaine with any branch activities/news you would like to be included.

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END

The final Reunion and AGM was held in London on 16th October 2025.

With over 90 members and guests present, the Chairman, Rick Westley, gave an address to the meeting during which he gave a presentation on the construction of Shell-Mex House. The slides he presented are here.
​
Rick concluded his presentation by asking members and guests to raise three cheers.  It was an historic moment for both Shell and BP.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE 44 CLUB
​
The SMBP 44 Association (the 44 Club) exists to sustain the family spirit of Shell-Mex & BP Ltd. It represents the 44 years of existence of Shell-Mex & BP Ltd (1932-1976) and provides some social "glue" and support to former employees of Shell-Mex and BP Ltd.

There are 16 active branches across the country where members gather to socialise, reminisce or indeed just enjoy the company. Have a look at our Branch Page and see if there is one near you. New members are always very welcome!
