The IBM Retired Employee Club (South Hants)
          www.shrets.co.uk

     Welcome.... 

The IBM Retired Employee Club (South Hants) Branch is available to some categories of retiree. The club promotes and encourages group social activities among retirees and their partners (or guest) and is a great way to pursue the activities that you enjoy, it is also a good way to meet other IBM retirees. The club is run by members who volunteer their time to organise social events. The programme is compiled by a small committee, who seek to make it varied and appealing to our wide variety of members. 

Hello Everyone,

On behalf of your very hard working committee, I would like to thank you for your continued support through the past year and hope that you have enjoyed the organised events.
We have been working hard to compile an exciting schedule for next year and once again thank you for your valuable input to the process. You will see that some events are already published but don’t forget to keep looking at the website for updates!
It just remains for me to wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

With best wishes.

Dave Whitbourne (Chair)

Cheque Payments

We have recently had a number of cheques returned to us as the drawer is in the process of switching banks. I don’t know what the new bank is telling you but the result is that a cheque drawn on your old bank will be rejected and represented by our bank to your new bank. On it’s own this would not be a problem, however, each time this happens we are charged £4 by our own bank. I am therefore making you aware that you are fully responsible for any charges we receive from this process.

Ron Bunce Treasurer

All places are allocated on a ballot basis, from time to time we do a first come first served, but it will be clearly marked on the Booking form when this applies.
