In 2001, six Ex-RMP fellows residing in Canada or USA, applied to RMPA-UK to form a NORTH AMERICA BRANCH. This was approved and The Branch became active in April 2001. In 2007, we now have 90 full members and Associate members.

Nearly all our full members undertook their MP training at either Inkerman- Woking or Roussillon-Chichester.

Through our Web Page, Newsletters, Reunions, Regional meetings, mail and Internet, many friendships have been renewed or developed. Common factors include our two main training establishments, service in The Corp and all being RED CAPS.

During these twelve years our five Chairmen have been Tony PURBRICK from Centerville, Ma, USA – Arthur ORDISH from London, On. Canada, Graham Lenton from Calgary AB, Jim Prott from Georgetown, Ont. Canada. and our present Chairman, Michael Shuster from Mississauga, Ontario

The Branch has its own Standard, Corp Flag, podium emblem Pennant, toast goblet and the National flags of the U.K.,Canada and USA.
