Secretariat
Helen Page and Wendy Garbutt based in Shell Centre support the Shell Pensioner Association members.
Membership and the Committee
The SPA welcomes everyone who has a pension (or an entitlement to a deferred pension) from the Shell Contributory Pension fund or the Shell Overseas Contributory Pension Fund. This includes pensions who are the widows or widowers of former Shell employees - indeed many are among our most active members.
Former employees of Shell-Mex and BP Ltd who have a Shell pension are also very welcome to join the association. Membership of the SPA can be held alongside membership of SMBP's 44 Club.
Life membership costs a one-off payment of £5.

SPA Committee Members
Committee
The SPA has a national Committee, headed by a Chairman, which has as one of its primary roles the maintenance of an effective relationship with Shell on pensioner matters. This includes making representations to the Company every year in respect of the annual pension increase and the aim to protect and enhance pensioner benefits.
The Committee is made up of two elected officers (Chairman and Treasurer), one appointed officer (the Secretary) and five ordinary members, all elected. All of these members attend committee meetings in Shell Centre every two months, which are also attended by the Assistant Secretary and the Editor of SPA news.
There will be vacancies for committee members at the 2013 AGM. If you would like to find out more, and think you might be interested in joining us, please contact Helen Page for more details and an application form.
