AXA PROVINCIAL PENSIONERS' ASSOCIATION
6th Annual Meeting, Cambridge
18th August 2006

We held our AGM for the first time this year at the Holiday Inn at Impington near Cambridge on Friday, 18 August.

The occasion provided a convenient opportunity for pensioners who were previously employed at Provincial’s offices at Haverhill, London and Branches in the South East and who continue to live in this area to attend and meet with each other again.

Whilst it was a little disappointing that only 22 pensioners were able to attend, the feedback we have received since suggests that the day proved to be an interesting and enjoyable one for those who were there.

After receiving the usual reports from the officers of the Association, those present heard from four interesting speakers: Pat Brady (in her capacity as a Pension Fund Trustee) and David Oversby-Powell on developments concerning pensions and the Pension Fund and Rachael Williams and her colleague Jane Harfield from AXA PPP on private healthcare opportunities for pensioners.

We intend to maintain our policy of organising the AGMs in areas of the country where large numbers of pensioners are likely to find it convenient to attend. The APPA Committee next meets at the AXA Insurance offices in Birmingham on Wednesday, 22 November when one of matters to be decided will be the date and venue for the AGM in 2007.
