It’s amazing how quickly we seem to have left the wonderful summer for the Autumn and it’s very noticeable that the evenings are already closing in. Along with this though we can see signs of the wonder of nature with gardens beginning to look green again and the Autumn colours starting to show.
Anyway, irrespective of the weather, the Club continues to offer a number of events prior to the end of the year, and I hope that many of you will enjoy a trip, a coffee morning or, of course, the Christmas lunch. You will also have an opportunity again this year to join in the festivities at the Brackmills Hub in the lead-up to Christmas. You can find more details later in this edition of The Link.
I am particularly looking forward to the Christmas lunch this year and hope to see as many of you as possible enjoying the food, drinks and camaraderie. Book quickly!
Meantime, take care and keep warm.
Take care.
Roger Alexander, Chairman
We have changed the joining criteria to enable those who have transferred their pension out of Barclays to join, see below for details:
Please be aware that charges for any event will be greater for Associate members as we do not receive a Bank Subsidy.
The standard joining fee of £10 as a one-off is the same for all wishing to join.
We publish a regular, quarterly newsletter, THE LINK. It is sent to all registered members. However, sending it by post is a very labour-intensive process. So we are making every effort to persuade members to take it by email instead. We have managed to increase the number of people who receive their copies this way to c. 300. This, however, is still likely to be far fewer than the total number of members who have email accounts.
When you receive it this way it arrives as an attachment to an email message. The attachment is a PDF (Portable Document Format) which opens with Adobe Reader. Almost all computers already have this FREE software installed. If not you can download Adobe Reader from here. Beware and make sure you "uncheck" the optional offers as these may cause conflicts on your PC.
If you can receive your copy this way we urge you to get in touch by using the Newsletter option on the Contact Us form. Let’s face it, if you are reading this message, you probably have an email account and can swap to this version. We’ll help you with the painless conversion.
