UPA Ashford

Down here in deepest Kent, UPA Ashford’sthird year has exceeded the committee’sexpectations. Membership is up on last yearand every event has gone well; people evenenjoyed our trip to France… when it rainedhard all day! This report could fill pages,so here are just a few of our highlights.

We have managed to coerce Maureen Cox and Jan Robinson onto the committee, so we have more help to make things tick. The Theatre section,Luncheon club and Walking section are all up andrunning and are well supported.

53 members attended a four-day holiday to the Bembridge Coast Hotel on the Isle of Wight. The hotel, food, facilities and entertainment werefirst-class. The weather could not have been better.We had trips to Osbourne House and VentnorBotanical Gardens, as well as the spectacle of theRound-the-Island Yacht Race. Our problem now is finding somewhere as good for next year.

Then there was the Hampton Court Flower Show.Again we had a packed coach and the weather wasfine. Loading all the plants into the coach was ouronly problem.

In August Maureen Cox and Ann Macey decided to have a Garden Party for those who had been able to come on our trips. But just like Topsy this ‘growed’and so our neighbours Shirley and Ken (non-Unilever)lent us their much larger garden. Again the sun shoneon us and we packed 100 people in. We borrowedtables, chairs, tea-urns and anything else we needed.Members gave raffle and tombola prizes, cakes andplants. Lots of people made scones, Chairman JohnWright made clotted cream and Ann made strawberryjam for the cream teas. We even auctioned two potsof John Nicol’s jam for £5. The result was that weraised a magnificent £823 for our local hospice.Adding this to the money given in aid of the Tsunamiat our January meeting, our members have raised over£1000 for charity this year.

Coming up for this year we have: a trip to GreenwichNaval College and the Nelson Exhibition; the Theatresection is going to London to see ‘Mama Mia’; wehave our winter trip to France (to restock!); we areseeing ‘Aladdin’ at Hastings and, of course, we haveour Christmas lunch.

Thank you to our members for their support, withoutwhich we could not continue, the committee for theirhard work, and of course Cynthia, Kate and Kimberleyfor their help and guidance.

Overheard at a Unilever Luncheon. “You really oughtto join. It’s given us something to live for.”

The Colworth and Welwyn PensionersClub has undergone a number of changesduring the last 12 months. For a start, weare no longer the Colworth and WelwynPensioners Club! At our 2005 AGM wechanged our name to Unilever PensionersAssociation Colworth. We have been a UPA in all but name for a few years, so the transition is now complete.

At the 2005 AGM we also had a change of chairman.After seven excellent years in the harness, Peter Butler decided to stand down and was replaced byCharmaine Willey. ‘Cham’ is happy to be referred to as our ‘chairman’ (most of us are still compos mentisenough to tell the difference!). Peter, of course, hasnot escaped; he is currently drawing up the detail ofour 25th Anniversary Newsletter which will be publishedto celebrate our quarter century in March next year.

Historically we have communicated with members by‘post and paper’, but in June this year we began tomove into the electronic age with the launch of theUPA - Colworth website. Initially the website willconcentrate on offering an electronic version of theinformation which we traditionally distribute by post– newsletter, trip offers, events information, etc. In thelonger term, however, we hope to extend the scope ofthe site to include articles which we cannot currentlyinclude within the limits of the four pages of thenewsletter. Perhaps a picture gallery and some formof interactive message board to allow members topost information themselves onto the site… could bea sort of ‘pensioners chat room’! For us, the advantagesof electronic communication are clear; a saving incommittee members’ time in printing, packing, andposting and the associated cost-saving in materials andpostage. In the few months since we launched, around10% of our membership has opted for this sort ofcommunication without any persuasion (as yet).

In 2005 our ‘Crawlers’ have prospered. We havearranged a programme of around 20 walks of varyinglength from 5 to 12 miles, with a couple of ‘away days’in the Cotwolds (Chipping Campden to Broadway) andDerbyshire (Ilam, Wetton and the Manifold Track).Support continues to grow and we have had morethan 40 participants at some walks this year. The look

on some of the publicans faces when confronted by 40 hungry and thirsty geriatrics has been an interestingmixture of horror and £ signs! We have also continuedour twitching activities and the promised ‘pensionerscycle ride’ will become a reality in September.

On the events and excursions front, a foray into wineand cheese tasting proved very popular (surprise,surprise!). Seven unlabelled reds of varying grape typeand country of origin (for each table of ten) formed thebasis for an identification parade. This, together withhalf a dozen unlabelled cheeses, provided a quiz witharound 25 questions to answer. A lot of slurping andcheese sampling eventually produced a winner. Thewinner had correctly identified just over 50% of thewine and cheese samples. Many of us were well shortof this percentage, but had a great time none the less.

Our holiday this year was to Bruges. We had goodweather which made for a great time, at this veryinteresting destination. Our day excursions haveincluded trips to the Royal Show at Stoneleigh andwalking in London’s Docklands; in December we havea Christmas trip to Chatsworth and the Bakewell PuddingShop. We have continued to offer our usual mix ofevents and excursions, including local theatre trips,talks, backstage tours, and our annual Pensionerssupper. So, although our activities in 2005 could besummed up as basically the same as 2004, support hascontinued to build. Due to popularity, we had to booktwo coaches for our Docklands excursion, and arecontinually seeking ‘something different’. We shall takethe same approach in 2006 and are already evaluatingsome of the options our members have suggested overthe year… probably, however, a trip to Las Vegas for theWorld Poker Tournament is unlikely to make the final list!

Here in Gloucester, we are working hard to put a varied programme together for our members.

To bring 2004 to a close, we arranged our firstweekend away, a ‘Turkey & Tinsel’ weekend! On alovely, bright, but cold, November day, 50 membersboarded a coach and travelled to the most popular of all seaside resorts – Weston-Super-Mare (or, as it is popularly known down here, Weston-on-the-Mud!).But, hey, it was ‘Christmas’ and we were all preparedto have a great time. And, indeed, we did. In the FancyDress competition, our members took the first threeprizes. After lots of eating, drinking, and making merry,we left Weston tired, but happy, and everyone agreed it had been a great ‘Christmas’.

We held our usual Christmas lunches over two days in December, at which 320 members and partners satdown to an excellent lunch. Our 2004 programme cameto a close with our annual evening of Christmas carolsand music.

Our first event in 2005 was our Spring reunion lunchattended by 190 members. Our reunion lunches arealways so popular that we are holding our Autumnreunion over two days. By doing this we will ensurethat all members who apply will be accommodatedand no-one will be disappointed.

Still on a high after the success of our Westonweekend, we decided to organise another away trip.In May we embarked on a three-day trip to Liverpooland Port Sunlight. We travelled up to Liverpool viaChester, where we stopped for a couple of hours forlunch and shopping. We were met on the Saturday

morning at our hotel by Charles Evans, a Unileverpensioner from UPA Wirral, who acted as our guidearound Liverpool. With his considerable knowledge of his home town and unique sense of humour (a story for every monument and building), Charlesmade our city tour most memorable and enjoyable.

We then travelled out to Port Sunlight where we weremet at the Lever Club by some of our friends from theUPA Wirral Committee who had organised a splendidbuffet lunch for us. After lunch they acted as our guidesaround the village. Everyone agreed that our visit wasfar too short and all too soon it was time to leave (wewere farewelled by a torrential thunderstorm). We leftLiverpool on Sunday, making a stop at the Percy ThrowerGarden Centre in Shrewsbury, and we arrived back inGloucester after another successful weekend away.

In July we made our annual pilgrimage to the seaside,this year to Bournemouth, and enjoyed blue skies andsunshine – another ‘grand day out’!

We are now looking forward to a visit to BristolHippodrome in September to see the stage musical‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’. This will be our firsttheatre trip, but hopefully not the last.

We still have a couple of events to look forward to this year, and we are also busy working on ourprogramme for 2006. Our committee remains strongand unchanged, and we are all doing our utmost to ensure we maintain a happy membership.

Leeds UPA started a little over 18 monthsago. Already we have more than 200members and we will have held 21 eventsby the end of this year! Our first AGM will be held in December.

At the end of 2004, we held our first four events: a guided walk, a trip on the Settle to Carlisle rail-line,a shopping excursion to Salford Quays and a day tripto Scarborough that included an afternoon music hallshow. These events were well supported, giving us an encouraging start.

Food and drink were prominent in the eventprogramme at the start of 2005, which began with a games evening in January. In February, we held ourfirst lunch club at a hotel in Leeds city centre, and inMarch there was a tour of the Sam Smiths brewery atTadcaster, followed by the opportunity to sample agood pint(s)! A narrow boat on the Leeds-Liverpoolcanal was the setting for a lunch in June, when theboat took us for a three-hour viewing of Leeds from the water – it did look different!

Country walks remain a popular event, so bothmoderately testing and gentler walks have takenplace throughout the year. The walkers have steppedonto the Yorkshire Moors, walked alongside the RiverWharfe and strolled around Thruscross Reservoir.

The RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park in July wasgreatly enjoyed, with many members bringing plantsand gardening accoutrements onto the coach for thejourney back to Leeds.

In late summer, members had the opportunity to take part in a green bowls tournament and a visit to Liverpool and Port Sunlight (kindly hosted by UPA Wirral).

In the final months of 2005, we are holding six events:a social afternoon of food, drink, dance and plenty of chat; a one-day course on dry stone walling (wellwe are in Yorkshire!); a lunch at the Leeds cateringcollege; a guided walk; a visit to spectacular ChatsworthHouse to see it ‘dressed’ for Christmas, and our firstAGM that will be followed by our Christmas lunch.

Next year we plan to hold our first overnight excursion– probably to Holland at the height of the tulip season.We look forward to welcoming still more Pensionersinto the UPA.

With only 150 members, UPA Warringtonis a small Association compared with mostof the other UPAs. However we are blessedwith an excellent level of member support.

Unfortunately, our committee has had a number ofsetbacks this year due to illness. This has necessitatedthe redistribution of work amongst our small hard-working committee. Nevertheless, this has not hamperedus in achieving tremendous success this year.

Lunches are always well supported at Warrington and have been held at country pubs and city centrehotels – the crowning glory being the Christmas lunch at Statham Lodge. The Christmas lunch had anoutstanding attendance of 80, an excellent turnout.Theatre trips are also a big favourite with the members.Various trips have been arranged to Liverpool andManchester to see and hear ‘A Tribute to Nat KingCole’, ‘Chicago’, ‘Miss Saigon’, ‘High Society’,‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ and a carol concert atLiverpool Philharmonic Hall. In addition, we organiseda three-day trip to London to see ‘Chitty Chitty BangBang’. While in London, members visited HamptonCourt Garden, Buckingham Palace and the LondonEye. This was our first venture into weekends awayand proved to be very successful.

In April we enjoyed an informative and interestingvisit to Liverpool, taking in the Catholic and Anglicancathedrals and many other notable sights in andaround the city centre.

We made an extended shopping trip to Barden Mill in July. We enjoyed an excellent lunch which wasserved in the conservatory, followed by a cruise on the Leeds-Liverpool canal during which we wereserved a cream tea. There was also a well-stocked barat reasonable prices for those who wished to partakeof something stronger.

Perhaps the highlight of this year was a trip toHolland in May. We set off from Milner Street at9.30am, stopping at York for lunch and some sight-seeing before arriving at Hull for the overnight ferryto Rotterdam. The next day was spent at KeukenhofGardens, the showplace for Dutch bulb growers.Finally, we took a coach tour along the coast to ourhotel and into the bar for a well earned pre-dinnerdrink. Dinner was served, followed by a further visit to the very comfortable lounge bar for a night-cap.The next morning we visited a flower auction atAalsmeer which amazed everyone. A visit to a cheesefarm followed and then off to Delft for lunch and abit of sightseeing before joining the ferry at Rotterdam.On the way back we stopped for lunch and sightseeingat Harrogate. Altogether a wonderful break withnumerous requests for a similar break next year. To this end, plans are in-hand for a trip to Belgium,taking in Bruges, Brussels and possibly Ypres and, most importantly, travelling overnight by ferry toZeebrugge: the ferry playing an important role inbringing the members together and making theholiday so successful.

That’s all for this year; speak to you again next Autumn.

Since our last report UPA Wirral has had a very full programme of events, startingoff with a visit to Bardon Mill and TowneleyHall near Burnley in early September. Laterthat month we held our second Bowls FunDay, expertly instructed by the ladies ofthe Port Sunlight Bowls Club. This event isnow bi-annual and is proving very popular.

Richard Clark led a group of 22 members on our first ramble in the Clwydian hills, through the gorgeof World’s End and below the white terraces of Craig y Forwen. As one member put it, “the weathermay have dampened our clothes but not our spirits!”

On 4 October, 50 members set off on a four-day breakto the city of Dublin. The first day was free for all ofus to take in the many sights and sounds of “this faircity”. On the second day we all boarded our coach for Avoca, the little town which was featured in theT.V. series Ballykissangel. We meandered through theWicklow Gap via narrow mountainous roads and theevening was spent enjoying some Irish Craic at theNancy Hands Pub. The following morning we took a short tour of Dublin before boarding our ferry to arrive back at Port Sunlight later that evening.

Our annual social evening took place on 19 Novemberand was attended by more than 100 members andguests. While the attendance was a little down onprevious years, this did not take away the atmosphereand enjoyment of the evening. Two other successfulevents during the month were a trip to the TraffordCentre for some pre-Christmas shopping and a visit to the Palace Theatre for a performance of the ballet‘Romeo and Juliet’. Our annual AGM was attended by a full house.

The bi-annual quiz was the first event of 2005 with 50 members in attendance. This was followed inMarch by a visit to the Library Theatre in Manchesterto see ‘The Real Thing’. Gavin Hunter, our localhistorian, gave 55 members a history lesson onStoreton Quarries, illustrating his talk with amazingphotographs of bygone times. Later that month 90 members enjoyed a visit to Cadbury World. Thehighlight of our programme was the trip made to the Rhine, taking in Cologne, Koblenz and the touristcentre of Rudesheim. This was an outstanding event.

A spring ramble took us through Brotherton Park andwe had another visit to Manchester to see ‘Larkin withWomen’. A full coach transported us to Powys Castlein mid Wales which is home to the ‘Clive of India’dynasty. In July we took another four-day break in the Scottish Highlands.

While all the above was going on, the monthlyluncheon clubs were taking place at various venuesthroughout Wirral. The committee has mapped outour next six months… we are looking forward to them with eager anticipation.
