IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OUR MEMBERS RE COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS)
As you will be aware the situation with regard to the containment of the Coronavirus is changing daily and, in conjunction with the ANZ office, we have implemented certain measures to minimise the risks to our members, volunteers and our associates such as the Bank staff.
Consequently, our Committee Members and Admin Team will no longer be attending the ANZ office until further notice. This means that we will endeavour to manage all administrative tasks on-line, including correspondence and maintenance of the Association database including new members and bereavements. In order to facilitate this, we prefer members to contact us by email: admin@anzpauk.co.uk or telephone/voicemail: 0203 229 2777. We will arrange to have any postal correspondence forwarded to one of our team from time to time.
It should also be noted that all social events have been suspended until further notice. At this time, it is still hoped that we can hold the Annual Reception in July. However, in case that this has to be postponed, we ask that you include your contact details when sending in your acceptance form or email. This will help us contact you if the arrangements get changed.
Please also note that the Minerva Club scheduled for 18 March has been cancelled.
The latest Newsletter has been published on-line: http://www.anzpauk.co.uk/newsletter-95.html and the printed version is with the printers. Unfortunately, due to restricted operations we have been unable to arrange for the printed version of the newsletter and the Annual Reception acceptance forms to be posted.
So far as possible, we will keep in touch with members via email. Please ensure that we have your current email address on our records. If you wish to add or change your email address, please contact us via email : admin@anzpauk.co.uk.

RIP Alan St Jean (17 November 1941 - 2 March 2020) With thanks to Des Shady for the following tribute:
I first met Alan when I was transferred to 71 Cornhill, London in November 1969, to train as a foreign exchange dealer. My sitting position on the dealing desk was on his left, with Mike Tong on his right and Charles Comport sitting opposite me. Jimmy Warwick, Manager Money was downstairs. Unfortunately, none of these people are with us any longer.
Alan was the “Cable” (Pound vs US Dollar) dealer at the time and because of his French heritage, lots of French banks called him for prices. He allowed me (school French) to answer some of these calls, but once a price was hit, he would grab the phone to make sure we weren’t selling when we were actually buying. In addition to currencies, Alan was also proficient in making prices in various off market products such as number of world cup goals etc.
Alan didn’t have the taste for the English bitters and I found them just OK, so when we got the opportunity we would adjourn to “The Jampot” which sold cold Becks beer.
Alan was a great person to work with and an excellent trainer. I was privileged to visit banks in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong with him in the early 1970’s. He was highly regarded by the dealing community throughout the world.
