Rotherham Branch is made up of over 300 subscribing and widow members. Retired colleagues are welcome to join as members and enjoy the company, friendship and entertainment provided at the 4 social evening we host throughout the year. Details are shown below.
Our flagship event is the branch annual dinner which will be held on the 15th November 2023 at the Holiday Inn Hotel, Rotherham. This event is very popular and well attended. Further details will be circulated to branch members throughout the year. This year, the entertainment will be the well renowned ACOUSTIC ANGELS. We also hold social evenings, where a buffet is provided. There is generally a quiz, but the main idea is for old colleague to meet up in a relaxed atmosphere. The next social evening, with a Christmas theme, will be from 7.30pm Wednesday 6th December 2023, at the Reach centre, Ferham Road, Rotherham. Your first drink will be free!!
In addition, we hold 4 branch meeting get togethers where the branch committee come together to discuss the running of the branch and topical issues affecting retirement, pensions and related matters around social/welfare considerations. We try to support and help retired colleagues and their partners where there's a need and where we can.
The branch secretary sends out 4 informative branch newsletters a year and the members help contribute to a topical Facebook page open to branch members and associates only.
We are looking to host a number of additional members meetings throughout 2023/24 where invited speakers provide informative and interesting talks on various subject matters.
Our next Branch meeting and AGM will be held at the Reach Centre, Ferham Road, Rotherham. Commencing at 7.30 am, Wednesday 17th January 2024. All official positions will be considered at this meeting.
