Fifty Plus, the magazine of the Barbados Association of Retired Persons, is published twice a year and distributed free of charge to all 24,000 BARP members and is also available for purchase in bookstores and other retail outlets. It is designed to appeal to all persons aged 50 and over in Barbados and beyond.

As BARP continues to grow in size and stature, we recognise our increasing responsibility as advocate  for one of the most significant sectors of the population, so the magazine  addresses the wider community. You will find, therefore, a variety of relevant features and articles on health and well being, lifestyle and leisure, consumer affairs, financial advice, travel, cookery, nostalgia, books and much, much, more. There is something in this magazine for everyone.

Our intention is that Fifty Plus will inform, educate and entertain, as well as enable BARP members to keep in touch with the Association's news, views and activities.

Packed with informative and entertaining features and articles, the Summer 2010 issue of the BARP Magazine Fifty Plus is now on its way to members courtesy of our friends at Insurance Corporation of Barbados Limited who have sponsored the cost of packaging and posting yet again! 

Elegant and stylish as ever, Marvo Manning graces the cover of this issue, her innate beauty captured by photographer Risee Chaderton with the cover story written by Cynthia Wilson.  

The magazine also includes articles on how to protect yourself during the hurricane season; a survival guide to house building, refurbishment and repairs; discovering ways to alleviate pain; getting to know more about the many services provided by welfare agencies in Barbados; a fascinating interview with three prominent doctors who express their views about health care in Barbados and a profile of two of the participants in the Senior Games of 2010.  

All the regular features are there too, like Afternoons Out, Caribbean Island Getaways, From Kitchen to Table, On the Bookshelf, Money Matters and our competition in which there are five chances to win a year’s subscription to the Advocate Newspaper.  And of course there is the BARP Diary, packed with news of all that has been happening since the last issue, including the release of the BARP Song, “Nothing Can Stop Us Now” which is available free for download on this website. 

As BARP members will know, the magazine is free, but for non-members, copies are available priced just $10 from the BARP office, Days Bookstore in Independence Square and Cloister Bookstore at Sheraton Mall.
