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 and we regret that we have had to cancel the Annual Reception in July. All subsequent events will be held if circumstances permit. The AGM has been postponed until 27 November, when it will be conducted via a video link. Further details are published below..
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.
