The Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) was established in 1927 by Charles Evenden.
The Order is known for being a brotherhood of past and present military servicemen and women that wish to assist former servicemen and women and their family within South Africa.
MOTH Seagull Shellhole Hermanus was founded in 1970 and has aided many members in their community over the past few decades.
These passionate volunteers commemorate the legacy of fallen soldiers yearly by taking part in a parade, displaying homage and laying wreaths on Remembrance Day.

The Memorable Order of the Tin Hats (MOTH) was the brainchild of Charles Evenden. Charles was an ex-serviceman for Australia in World War I and settled in South Africa after his military journey.
After watching a war film in 1927, one scene of true comradeship stood out to Charles - marching troops wearing Tin Hats and carrying trench equipment. This scene sparked a remembrance for his fellow friends in the war and soon MOTH was born in 1927.
MOTH Seagull Shellhole Hermanus was established in 1970.
To accomplish physical, social and financial goals, MOTH Seagull Shellhole Hermanus always follows the primary MOTH ethos which is:
MOTH Seagull Shellhole Hermanus invites you to join your comrades if you, or members of your family, have served your country in the South African Defence Force or the South African Police Service.
MOTH Seagull Shellhole Hermanus Meetings are held once a month in Hermanus with all safety protocols in place.

Not only do MOTH members share a common interest in helping comrades but many also share an interest in something equally exciting - biking.
Fuelled with ambition, a group of MOTH members gathered in Cape Town in September 2008 to form the Moth Motorcycle Association (MMA). A few months later, the Rules and Standing Orders were approved by GHQ Durban and MMA finally took off to the open road.
Ready for automotive action and proudly flashing their MMA biking patches on their backs, the MMA started to grow exponentially all over the country. To become a member of MMA, you must first become a proud MOTH member.
