MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN TO ALL

Thank you, Brenda!

Just over two years ago our wonderful Bookings Secretary, Brenda Karn-Smith, took an unfortunate fall from which, tragically, she never recovered. Brenda was very closely involved, going far beyond the call of duty, in her deeply caring attitude to our members, and this care extended beyond the grave. Brenda requested that any donations at her funeral be split between her two favourite charities, the Minibus Association being one of them, and so we benefitted from her care at that time.

Brenda, however, had not left matters there. In her will she donated a massive £10,000 to the minibus and, these things taking time as they do, we received this money earlier this year, for which we are tremendously grateful. All our members will share in this gratitude, too, as one development as a result of Brenda’s generosity is we are able to offer FREE MEMBERSHIP to all, right through to the end of 2025.

This offer extends to all current members – no fee for 2025 – and to ANYONE who wishes now to become a member. There is no charge, so all you have to do is speak to me, or any Escort, and complete your details on our simple Membership Form and – hey presto ! – you are now entitled to join any of our journeys until the end of next year. Each journey requires a very modest fare, but involves complete personal care: we pick you up from your front door, help with carrying any shopping you need, and return you safely back to your front door. And in the meanwhile, you have the company of our lovely members during the journey.

A further benefit from Brenda’s wonderful legacy will go towards the capital cost of the next replacement minibus we receive from County, due in a couple of years time, and to acknowledge our debt to Brenda the current minibus and its replacement will have appropriate signage acknowledging Brenda’s generosity.

I include below our upcoming destinations, and would be delighted to receive any suggestions for further venues by current or new members. You can secure a seat on our minibus by phoning Fran Wallace on 700320. Fran kindly stepped in while Brenda was hospitalised and we are most grateful to her for taking over Brenda’s duties permanently. Fran deals with all regular shopping trips, and Ros Harvey on 701934 books our monthly special social outings which appear in red. We are also very grateful to Val Mourilyan on 700089 who arranges transport for residents of Wyatt House and near environs to the St Peter’s Luncheon Club.

All the best,
Dave Wallace, Local Coordinator
