48,000 Members of the Forces Pension Society plus friends and family (an estimated 70,000+ readers). Contrary to the impression which may be given by the Society’s name, Pennant is read equally by younger as well as older age groups, by men and women in equal proportion and by people with high levels of disposable income.

Pennant is published bi-annually, at the beginning of May and November. Society Members are spread throughout the UK and a small number live abroad, principally in Cyprus, Germany and Spain. Within the UK, London, South East and South West are areas of greatest membership density.
