The always interesting and inevitably witty Rodney Bickerstaffe addressing the AGM yesterday
It was great to attend the regional Retired Members Agm yesterday Friday 18 February at ULU. The event was well organised with around 130 delegates attending from all over London..
The day was interesting and a lot was said about the big march organised for the 26 March 2011 everyone was urged to do their best to be there.
There were a number of speakers including Linda Perks and Bob Abberley who made very positive contributions. Bob informed the meeting that he would soon be joining them as he was to be retired soon.
Then came Rodney Bickerstaffe who, as expected, gave a great speech on pensions and the campaign to stop the government from attacking pensioners even further. He spoke about the affect the switch from using the RPI to the CPI would have on the value of pensions and invited all to become more active in the campaigns. He reminded the meeting that there were around 17,000 members of the RM section in London alone and around 150,000 throughout the country. The AGM was chaired by Rob Beeston who was reelected for another year and then the new committee members were confirmed in post.
