IBM Hursley Retirees Club - Associate Membership

Associate Membership

At our AGM in March 2016 the IBM Hursley Retired Employee Club adopted, at the request of the company, a new constitution; this constitution will be common across all IBM Retiree clubs.

The new constitution includes a new category of people who are entitled to be members of our retiree club, Associate Members (see definition below).  Such members are entitled, upon payment of an annual membership fee, to full membership of the IBM Hursley Retired Employee Club.

If you wish to join the Hursley Retired Employee Club, please send the following information:

• Your full name
• IBM Personnel number
• e-mail address
• Telephone number
• Address

Upon receipt of the application, the club will confirm with the Company that you meet the defined criteria and accept your membership.

John Jones (Chairman)
