From the Chair
Welcome to the autumn edition of the RPGA newsletter edited as ever by Paul Laxton and thank you for the contributions from members to this edition. Items are always welcome from members especially with photos covering past memories, "trip" recommendations, hobbies and anything else that may be of interest. I have written a review of a visit with my wife to HMP Shrewsbury now a museum and film set, I do spoil that woman, but no expense was spared.
The RPGA AGM is late this year (7th November] as I was not available for the PGA conference date, so it is a ZOOM meeting details of which are on the previous page. It would be appreciated if some members could respond, and you can do so from the comfort of your armchair so help us out if you can.
It is breezy on the Pennines today and we are due the tail end of a hurricane this week so that's something to look forward to. Going to Morecambe this week taking my wife for our 8th wedding anniversary, there I go spoiling her yet again.
On the news today "nowhere to place rioting offenders", nothing changes and the POA have been high profile nothing from the PGA so far. Not fun for staff.
My usual plea to you all for new committee members and if you would like to join us call 07788430702. graham.smith646@hotmail.co.uk you would be most welcome. My grateful thanks to the current RPGA committee for their work this year. Have fun, keep safe and enjoy your retirement.
GRAHAM SMITH,
RPGA CHAIRMAN
