The Fellowship of Former Conservative Agents was established in 1999 as the newsletter for retired Party Agents. The introduction to the first edition states, 'Many of us have been expressing concern at the difficulties of keeping in touch with ex-colleagues. Without in any way wishing to be disparaging about the new Party organisation - times have definitely changed. At one time the Areas did a pretty good job of maintaining records of retired colleagues. These have all but been destroyed, and nowhere in the Party is there a database of ex-Agents. One of the events which really brought this home was the comparatively small number of people who subscribed to the latest batch of "leavers". Central Office said they had no mechanism for writing to those of us who would willingly have given had we known. So we thought we would build up a list - and the logical consequence is this -and future Newsletters.'

In 2007 the newsletter was renamed In Touch with Former Conservative Agents.
