Kenneth Seymour & Jim Andrews
BRITS ABROAD LAUNCHES A NEW APPROACH TO ACHIEVE PENSION INDEXING.
We began in March 2004 a new approach to try to gain pension indexing for all those UK Ex-pat pensioners in CAN, OZ, NZ, and RSA, by securing the services of two UK Members of Parliament, whose bailiwick is that of UK pensions. We are now represented in the UK parliament. By joining our association, as a member without donation (Associate Member) or a member by donation (Supporting Member) you will help us to attend meetings in London that pertain specifically to OUR interests.
This is how you can join the PENSION ASSOCIATION. We have THREE catergories:
Associate Member. Requiring no donation but listing you as a member.
Supporting Member. Donate anything from $25 to $250 to help our expenditures.
Business Member. British businesses abroad who can donate $500 or more. These businesses will recieve a full business ad on our Home Page.

TOTAL DONATIONS SINCE MARCH 21st to July 31st $2,668.15 |
BRITS ABROAD has donated $1,000, being $500 from myself, Ken Seymour, and $500 from our 'Pensions' feature editor Jim Andrews. Your donations will be added to the above box. A monthly 'STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT' will be made available to ALL members who donate money. Email us and we will 'attach' a copy of our updated monthly 'statement of account.'to your email address or private address.
NO EXPENSES will be deducted for such things as internet costs, office costs, computer & printer costs, mail, personal 'out of pocket' costs, or any cost that is not DIRECTLY related to the travel to & from London, being, air fares, hotels, meals, inner-city transportation, and associated fees & taxes. We will only raise money to offset 'getting there and getting back.'

PROGRESS REPORT: Jujy 31st 2004. Jim Andrews is back from London with not very good news. The question of pensions being indexed for all of us in CA, OZ, NZ, & SA, is not likely to come about for a great many years yet. There are too many pension issues in the UK for UK pensioners, and our claim is truly on the back burner. We shall keep up our determination to see pensions do finally get indexed, but in all honesty, it will not happen for years to come. Continue to pledge your support, verbally & financially, as Jim Andrews will be back in London early next spring and we will maintain the fight.
We will keep all Associate, Supporting & Business members of the BAPA (Brits Abroad Pension Association) informed of developements, by mail, for those not on-line. And the monthly statement will continue to be sent at the end of every month to all our Supporting Members. Ken Seymour, Administrator, BAPA. Jim Andrews, Accounting. Pearl Fisher, Secretary.
