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 Autumn 2026

Opening from the Chair

 

Dear Members,

Our membership needs your help! It has come to my notice that it is you who make the difference. Please encourage your retired work colleagues to join your Club!

Or encourage them to come as a guest first. You have to admit our Game of Bingo is like no other and needs to be seen to be believed. As I write this Pigeons come to mind? Our quiz caused a big discussion on this subject and quite frankly the knowledge of our members astonished me!

What a glorious Summer we have had this year and our trip to the Seaside was especially good this year. Liz Findlay our guide did an excellent job in commentating and our new Coach Company, Kelly’s and their Driver Vinnie, were a success too.

On the way home we had a free raffle. A sum of £80 was later raised by members generously donating towards our chosen charities.

For those of you that enjoy the Christmas Carol Service please be advised that in the Connections Magazine this year they advised there have been changes. Not only to the date but also to the venue which is to be the Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Square, on Tuesday 15 December. We are advised that refreshments will be served afterwards. The Church is a two-minute walk from Sloane Square underground or a short bus ride from Victoria Station. It looks to be a smaller venue, so I am not sure how many of us will fit in?

There may be some of you who still hold Barclays shares, and due to the increased values of late now feel it’s time to sell them. In which case you possibly have them stored with Barclay’s Sharestore? Please be advised of the statement below:

“Shares held with Barclays Sharestore is now administered by Equiniti, allowing Barclay’s shareholders to buy or sell certificated shares. If you wish to contact them, please see their details below:

When selling shares be advised that if the sale is over £3k Capital Gains might apply!

Alternatively, use the Barclay App to ask how to open a Stocks and Shares ISA to avoid paying such Tax but T&C’s do apply.”

Finally, we are all being bombarded with correspondence and email regarding GDPR

regulations, but have to bring this to your attention!
