Urgent Information for Members
This area at the top of the Newsletter page is reserved for urgent information and warnings for our Members.
Late Feb '25. A particularly nasty new scam is circulating. You can find a link to this (scam of the month) via Welfare Matters page on the heading strip.
******************************************************************************************************
We are happy to include an edited version of our latest Newsletter here.
It is sometimes necessary to remove names, contact details, costs
and other details but if you are an existing member of the LEPC you
will already be aware of where you can obtain this missing information.
If you are not a member and think you might be eligible please go to the contacts
page and complete the contact form there.
Also, in the Printed and Email versions of the Newsletter all detail of forthcoming
events and welfare matters is included. Since there are pages allocated on this website
for both, there seems to be no need to duplicate this information here as each has its own allocated space.
Our newsletter is sent to all registered members. However, sending it by post is a labour-intensive process.
so we are making an effort to persuade members to take it by way of an attachment to an email instead.
We have managed to increase the number of those who receive their copy this way, but it is still likely
to be fewer than the total number of members who have email accounts. If you can receive your copy
this way please get in touch via our contact page. Also, if you are thinking of changing your email address
or have done so recently, do please advise us of this change.

Newsletter Spring 2025
Opening from the Chair
Spring is in the air, the sun is shining, and the birds are feeding in the garden as I write to you today.
We had more members at the AGM than in past years so it was heart-warming for the Committee that so many of you showed an interest. As we now have our own PA system, donated by another Club and successfully tried out at the AGM, it will make for easier listening for those present on other occasions. Our thanks to Peter for having that connection.
As mentioned in the last Newsletter, the Club has been in existence for 50 years in the Summer so please do make a note in your diary to join us at the Masonic Hall on the 5th September to celebrate. This will be advertised in the June Newsletter.
Our raffles are now certainly creating a lot of funding for the Charities chosen by you the members at the last AGM. Your generosity in gifting raffle prizes is unprecedented, please continue to do so as every little bit helps.
As was said at the AGM; As no one has come forward to assist the Committee , I am reluctantly reducing the activities the Club has to offer. Therefore, the only trip arranged for June is a walk with Peter and Gloria.
But please make a note in your diary (17th July) for a coach trip with guide to Dover & Deal, which will include a two course lunch overlooking the sea at the well known Mr White’s English Chophouse.
