CHAIRMAN’S AUTUMN MESSAGE
It seems cruel to have to think of winter whilst we’re coping with a heatwave but that’s the price we pay for having seasons and preparing for the future.
There’s a lot of important reading to do in the new issue of the newsletter including an article about Beacon, the new membership system. Preparing it has involved a massive amount of work, with the promise of an easier life for the membership secretaries and enhanced services for members.
You will need to take care how you fill in the renewal form as it has been updated to take into account the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), that I’m sure you’ve been inundated with information about. I think that’s a split infinitive, but hey ho. There are boxes to tick that ensure we can give you the best and safest service, so take care. We have had to set a good example by doing some very precise reading ourselves in preparing the Data Protection and Privacy Policies that will be available for anyone wishing to peruse them.
On a personal note can we suggest that everyone carries details of next of kin In Case of Emergency. You’ve probably heard of the acronym ICE which refers to this. It is the easiest way for this information to be found. Just put the name and contact details in the “I” section of your phone, diary or address book.
I’m glad to be able to tell you we have some new groups that have already started and more planned. If you have an interest or passion that could be met by forming a group, please speak to Rhoda Luer who is expert at setting up and supporting.
Have you considered your contribution to the campaign for the reduction of plastic use? As responsible Third Agers I hope we all carry reusable bags and refuse straws in drinks. There are of course many other ways to help.
Your committee attended a meeting to consult with HAC and Harrow Council about their bid for funding from the GLA Good Growth Fund. Harrow and HAC have plans to refurbish and replace dilapidated buildings to increase income. In three years the Council will remove the subsidy for HAC so they will then need to be self-sustaining. New seating in Elliott Hall will be installed and the Roxeth Dance Studio will be operating by September. Demand is rising so it’s looking hopeful.
