"Outboard" is the quarterly newsletter mailed to all British
Railways Board Headquarters Retired Staff Association members. For those
members who are unable to attend quarterly meetings of the Association it
ensures they are kept in touch with the Association's work and activities.
Each issue, usually comprising
between 8 and 16 pages, incorporates the minutes
of the most recent meeting, together with latest news about railway pensions and
travel facilities, social and outdoor activities and the date of the next
meeting.
Reports are also included, giving the latest news from the British Transport
Pensioners' Federation (to which the Association is affiliated) and the National
Pensioners' Convention (to which the BTPF is affiliated). The NPC is
active in all matters concerning state pensions and benefits for all pensioners.
The issue following the Association's AGM includes the Committee's Annual
Report and the Annual Accounts and Balance Sheet.
