The Aden Dinner Club was formed September 14 1949. It provides, through an annual newsletter and an annual gathering in London, a means by which those who have lived or worked in any capacity in the old Colony and Protectorate of Aden, or in the modern Yemen Republic, may remain in touch and have news both of former colleagues and of current events in the area.

The membership is varied, covering a range of age groups of people from all walks of life who have spent time in Aden and Yemen - from Army and RAF personnel to Colonial Service and Civil Service staff to health workers, teachers and the former employees of British Petroleum at Little Aden.
