David Valentine RIP
It is with great sadness that we have learnt of David's passing on 9 August.
David had been fighting prostate cancer for many years and his health had been deteriorating over the last few weeks but, in the end, he died peacefully at home in Melbourne with his family.
His funeral will be family only. However they are planning a get-together of his friends to celebrate David's life and achievements. This is likely to be in several weeks' time. Once we are aware that a date has been fixed we will update this notice.
David had a happy and successful life full of things that he enjoyed doing and friends and family with whom he enjoyed sharing those things. There have already been several tributes from his former colleagues around the world at Brandts, Grindlays and ANZ. In summary, he was a great boss, a gentleman, good humoured and an inspiration to anyone he worked with. His legacy will live on.

Hugh Ferguson RIP
Many ex Grindlays and ANZ Staff will be sad to hear of the passing of Hugh on 16th August 2019 at the age of 75. He had been fighting cancer of the Lungs for a bit over a year but in the end it proved too much for him.
Hugh was born in Kenya in 1944 and joined National and Grindlays Bank in 1962 in Mombasa. After training in London he was posted to India in 1965 and thereafter served in Kenya, Uganda, London, Zambia, Greece, Taiwan, Credit Inspection, Zimbabwe, Australia and retired as GM, Jordan in 2001.
Hugh was a very accomplished all round Banker and much admired wherever he went. He enjoyed all sports but was best at golf and was a single handicap player for nearly 40 years.
He was married to his Danish wife, Randi, for just over 50 years, had 4 children and 9 grand children.
The picture is of Hugh and his wife on a trip to Canada about 5 years ago.
The Funeral will be at St Mary's Church, Station Rd, Wargrave, Reading RG10 8EU at 2.30 pm on Friday, 6th September 2019.
Followed by a Wake at Temple Golf Club, Henley Rd, Hurley, Nr Maidenhead, SL6 5LH.

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.
