NEWS FROM THE OFFICE
Goodness.......another year passed already! This year for the first time, the Association will not be holding a prize draw. We feel it appropriate in the current financial climate, to give our wonderful members a well deserved rest from purchasing raffle tickets.....so apologies to members who look forward with anticipation......for not enclosing raffle tickets. We very much hope an improvement with the UK economy will encourage the Association to hold a wonderful prize winning draw next year.

We are very sad to report that Graham Pye died after a short illness on 12th June 2009. Graham was a Trustee of Mr and Mrs J. A. Pye’s Charitable Settlement a most important benefactor of the Association. Mr and Mrs J. A. Pye’s Charitable Settlement has supported the Association for over 24 years. It is unlikely that the Association would still exist without the support of this trust.
Graham Pye took a special interest in the work of the Association and was keen to offer advice and suggestions on how to improve our work. He will be greatly missed. |
