Just Retired?

Congratulations to all our teaching colleagues who have just retired.  We wish you many years of happy and fulfilled retirement.

We are delighted to welcome those of you who have already registered with RSTA.  We hope that you will encourage your fellow retirees to join with us in the same spirit of solidarity which sustained us all during our teaching careers.

We are hopeful that branch social events and outings will gradually become a part of our lives during the coming months.  In the meantime, to get a flavour of what the RSTA is about in more 'normal' times we direct new members to recent issues of the RSTA Newsletter on the NEWS page of this website. See the Branches section of this site for contact email addresses and activities of your local branch.

REMINDER TO BRANCHES

As you see from the notice above, recently retired teachers are referred to the website for information about RSTA and news about their local branch news and plans. A number of RSTA branches have begun a phased resumption of activities and details are available in the Branch Activities section of this website.

Please email notices of your branch's planned activities to: rstamayobranch@gmail.com and they will be posted here.
