For February's Howwow we will talking about the Centralised Retirement Proposition (CRP). Join us as we put questions to our panel in order to get a better understanding of what makes up this new kid on the block. We'll cover:

What is a CRP – is it a CIP with a different name?

Tim Coverdale – Head of Business Development in the North of England and Scotland at 7IM. With 25 years in Financial Services both as an IFA and on the Provider side, you may also recognise Tim as a regular PFS presenter.

Martin Lines - Business Development Director at Just. He has 30 years’ experience in financial services, working with local and national adviser firms on pension and retirement-related issues.

Richard Allum - Founder of The Paraplanners (and manages to run a few paraplanner events, Powwows and Howwows, or something like that). Richard will be giving the paraplanner perspective.

Our panel will join us on Wednesday 27 February, at 1pm for this hour-long online chat.

Want to ask a question on the topic already? Go on, once you've registered, pop your question under the Q&A section - don't wait for the Howwow,  or email us here, or ask in real-time on the day.

This Howwow online is on Wednesday 27 February, 1-2pm. Can't make it? Then watch the replay, available just after the Howwow finishes.

If you enjoyed that Howwow, then head over Big Tent and say hello. There's a whole bunch of paraplanners hanging out there.

Save your spot by clicking the button on the top right. It's free, the only thing you have to do is register an account.

On the day of the Howwow just sign back in here. But, we'll also send a reminder email ten minutes before it starts.

On the tech side of things. Viewing the Howwow on browsers such as Chrome or Firefox work best. Headphones are a good idea if you share an office, plus the ability to type so that you can ask questions via the chat feature.

Just sign-in and view a recording of the session whenever it suits you.

Yes! As many as you can throw at our panel. Plus, if you can't make the Howwow,  book a spot and add a question beforehand, the panel will then answer it during the event.

Can I suggest a Howwow topic or be on the panel?

Absolutely, the more the merrier. Drop us an email.

You bet your bottom dollar there are, and on lots of useful topics for paraplanners. Watch past and/or register for any upcoming events here.

There isn't an upcoming Howwow listed, when will the next one be?

Sorry about that. We're just confirming the topics and putting together an A-Team panel for it. We do aim for every last Wednesday of the month, at lunchtime (1-2pm for most normal folk), so you can join in while eating your sandwich.

Sometimes we'll throw a curve ball and change the date. That's because we want to bring you AMAZING panel members, and they just can't make Wednesdays. It's as simple as that.

Powwows vs Howwows - what's the difference?

Here's the Powwow lingo.  Powwows are informal gatherings designed by paraplanners for paraplanners to exchange views, learn things, fix things and share things.

Got that? But there's more. Where Powwow gatherings are on a number of topics,  Howwows are for those times when we want to focus on ONE topic in particular and, in depth.

Sometimes we meet in person,  and sometimes we just like a good chinwag online.  Enter Howwows Online.

You can find out more about Powwows or see a full list of all events here.

Actually, my question was on something else

Ooh, we like new questions. Just pop it in an email and send it on its merry way to how@paraplannerspowwow.co.uk.

One last question, what do you do with my details when I sign up?

Crikey, another good question! We’ll use your details to keep you posted on Powwow happenings. From time to time, this will include activities that our supporters are participating in that we think you’ll find interesting.  We share information at an aggregate level with our supporters every now and then.
