Retired Members Section
ARE YOU RETIRED or ABOUT TO RETIRE?
Have you thought about joining the Retired Members' Section?
Membership of the Section is open to those IET members and their partners, who have retired from full-time work and have paid the appropriate annual subscription (£5). The Section has its own Committee which is responsible for organising a programme of visits, lectures and other events for the interest of the Section membership. Participation in all events is by ticket only. Non-members of the Section who wish to attend an event should apply to Wilf Banks
(email: wilf-banks@langleypark100.freeserve.co.uk). When there is a limit on the numbers attending an event, priority will be given to members of the Section. Anyone interested in joining the Retired Members’ Section should also contact:
