Welcome

The NTL Pension Association exists to represent the interests of members of the NTL Pension Plan. We extend a warm welcome to all visitors to this site.

If you are an NTLPA member, please log-in on the right side of this page to view a wider selection of postings. There is an active selection of  “Press Cuttings” concerning pension matters amongst many other items likely to be of interest to members.

If you are member of the NTL Pension Plan, but have not yet joined NTLPA please take a look at  About Us, then consider becoming an NTLPA member by joining the Association. The Association is open to all Plan members whether active, pensioner or deferred. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Next Pub Lunch

The next committee meeting will be on Friday 25th May and this will be followed by the usual informal pub lunch from about 1pm at the White Hart in Stockbridge, SO20 6HF (map) at which all members and friends will be welcome. If there are any issues that you would like the committee to consider please email the Secretary (link).

Virgin Media discount offer

As mentioned in the recent newsletter Virgin Media is planning to extend an offer of discounted services to all pensioners of the Plan. This is likely to be a reasonably high end service bundle offered at a substantial discount. Virgin hope to be in a position to issue the offer within the next few weeks and will communicate directly, so pensioners should look out for this.

MNT elections later this year

As you may know there are two Trustees of the NTL Pension Plan who are elected by the membership (the other four being chosen by the company – Virgin Media). Currently our member nominated trustees are Dick Buckle and Tony Gee. These positions run for five years and will come up for re-election towards the end of this year. Therefore the company will be writing to plan members in the summer to ask for nominations and will arrange a postal ballot later in the year. Being a Trustee is an important and responsible task, not to be undertaken lightly, but anyone with an interest in these positions should consider if they wish to be nominated as the opportunity only arises once every five years. We do not yet know whether the existing MNTs will be standing for re-election.

Analogue “wake”

This year marks the conclusion of analogue tv services in the UK as the last transmitters are to be switched off in Northern Ireland this October. Colleagues in our “sister” organisation ITCRA (who represent those who retired before IBA privatisation or later from successor bodies other than NTL) have suggested an event to mark this occasion and we are suporting them in this. Arqiva have agreed to host the event at Crawley Court and it will be held on Wednesday 27th June at 6.30 to 9.30 pm. NTLPA members will receive a booking slip shortly by email (or by post where we do not have an email address) for registration. Although there will be no charge for the event we need to know who is coming in advance for catering purposes and as Arqiva will only admit those listed to the site. Members’ partners are also very welcome to attend.
