Urgent Information for Members

This area at the top of the Newsletter page is reserved for urgent information and warnings for our Members.

******************************************************************************************************

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 Winter 2024

Opening from the Chair

Seasons Greetings to all of our members from your Committee.

This year seems to have flown by and, being retired, each day is now becoming more hectic!

In September 2025 the Club will celebrate 50yrs of its existence as the LEPC.

 We hope you will help us to celebrate this occasion with a special lunch on the 5th September next year

More information will be given in the June Newsletter.

2025 is nearly upon us, and to ensure any of the trips go ahead, please do remember that when a trip is offered in the Newsletter, you do need to fill your application in asap - do not delay.  In October, because of poor response, a trip was cancelled at the last minute which makes it a shame for those who wanted to go. Please be more mindful.

In September '25, the Club has a holiday booked for BLACKPOOL. If you are interested please do call me to iron out any worries you might have. We do have vacancies, but once again, this cannot be left to the last minute as there are limited places available. So, come and join the fun before I open this offer up to non-members.

 

 Southwark Cathedral is once more opening its doors  to host the Barclays Carol Service in December, do try to come as it really is very special. The service starts at 12 noon so you will need to arrive at least 15 mins before then to take your seat.

 

At the Christmas lunch we will be handing out to members and their partners a card to place in their wallet/purse. The card has the details of the Clubs website which you can use to introduce us to your old work colleagues, but more importantly you need to write your emergency details on the reverse. This way if your wallet or purse is stolen, using that info, said item might be returned to you by the Police as did happen to a member in September!

Please think about a Charity that you support and would like our help to raise funds for in 2025. There is a form attached for you to complete which should accompany your letter giving your reasoning. This will be reviewed by the Committee for the AGM.

 

Please lso give some serious thought to helping your Committee, we really need another pair of hands to help us continue. If you feel able to spare some time, please do call me on.

I hope you enjoy the trips that have been planned for you in 2025.
