About
The Association was created by the amalgamation of the Grindlays Group Pensioners Society and the ANZ Bank Retired Officers Association (UK) on the 20th September 1988. It was to operate under a Constitution which was approved by the Bank, whereby the Association was the property of the Bank, and was to be run by a Committee of volunteers from among its members performing functions in accordance with the terms of the Constitution. By resolution passed at the 30th AGM on 17 September 2018, the Constitution was changed primarily so that the Association is an autonomous organisation and no longer the property of the Bank. At the same time, the membership qualifications have been changed so that full members can be any retired person who is former officer of the ANZ in the UK or its associates who served the Bank for at least seven years and irrespective of his pension source. The full text of the new Constitution has been updated to the link below.
