Changes to the Constitution

By resolution at the AGM held on 17 September 2018 Significant changes to the Constitution were proposed. We can now report that this resolution was unanimously passed with the following keys changes adopted.
- The Association to become an unincorporated independent Association and no longer a Proprietary club, where ANZ Bank was the proprietor. This releases ANZ Bank from its implicit obligations as Proprietor. In order to preserve a formal tie to the ANZ Bank, the existing UK CEO, Diana Brightmore-Armour has agreed that the UK CEO can become the patron of the Association.
- References to the Associations objectives to identify and provide support to Pensioners in financial hardship are no longer applicable as well as reporting such instances to the ANZ Bank.
- Under the existing Constitution, only former employees of ANZ who are in receipt of a Pension from the UK ANZ Pension fund scheme can be “Full members” of the Association with voting rights. Following the closure of the ANZ Pension scheme over ten years ago, this restriction will become unsustainable over time as the source of new voting members will become exhausted. It is therefore proposed to extend full membership rights to include former employees of the Bank for at least 7 years and who have attained the UK minimum retirement age, even though they are not in receipt of a pension under the ANZ Pension Scheme.
- The target number of Committee meetings is reduced from 6 to 3 per annum.
- Further changes to the Constitution will no longer require the pre-approval of the ANZ Personnel department.
- In the event that the Association is dissolved, any remaining assets of the Association will no longer revert to the ANZ Bank, but maybe disposed of to another similar organisation or charity as determined at the meeting to dissolve the Association.

ANZ BANK WEST END BRANCHES REUNION
We organised a couple of successful Strand branch reunions some time ago and thought it would be a good idea to have a further get-together for anyone who spent time at any of the ANZ branches in the West End, namely Strand (including Maltravers Street), Grafton Street, Marble Arch and Brook Street. The details are as follows:
Date: Wednesday May 22nd
Time: from 4 p.m.
Venue: The Sheaf (formerly the Hop Cellars), 24 Southwark Street SE1 1TY (very close to London Bridge Station, just off Borough High Street). Please note it is not the nearby Wheatsheaf in Borough Market.
We have lost contact with many of our former friends and colleagues who worked in the West End so if you are in touch with any of them do please pass the word and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on what we hope will be a very enjoyable occasion.
