Please Support Us
Please support us on the 21st of October we are having a ‘Race Day’, from 1:30pm to raise funds for our chosen project this year, The St Mary’s Bell Tower Fund. It promises to be a fun afternoon, and as always, we just want you to turn up, enjoy yourselves and spend some money! Non-members are welcome, please bring your friends.
There is a £1 charge to enter, but please participate in the races, as there will be a chance in each race to win something and there will be teas and coffees. Please bring your own drinks and glasses.

The coach leaves from our normal pickups at 2:30pm, allowing plenty of time to explore and dine beforehand. Our seats are very good, seated in the centre of the main arena.
Tickets are £50, including the coach. Please Email: uparaupchurch@gmail.com or Text: 07802 250773 to secure your place. Deposits (£10) must be paid by the 21st of October, after which places will be offered to others. Members will get priority to reserve until the 21st. Non-members and any excess demand will be put on a reserve list until this time. Balance required by the 21st of December.
The Thoughts of Chairman John
Hi everyone,
What a month to remember! in the beginning, we had a Queen, and now at the end of the month, we have a King, fortunately not a regular occasion.
I'm sure quite a few of us can remember the death of King George 6th; at the time, I was at school in Sussex.
I remember we were all called into the large classroom (we only had 3) the headmistress announced that the King had died. As a nine-year-old, it didn't move the earth for me, but the coronation was a completely different event, as we entered the second Elizabethan era, what an introduction. I can remember our lounge full of neighbours from our close, as we had had a TV for a few years, (my father was one of the original "gadget men" as I remember, but it used to spend more time in the repair shop than at home), but it did us proud on that day!
Let us hope our new King will inherit his mother's example...
My final bit is the same old plea, "If you have some new ideas for events, activities or trips, we are always trying to open up something new, we also have the option to co-opt willing people to help out on the committee.
Here's to the new monarch.

Badminton
We will be running a trial badminton session on the afternoon of Monday the 17th of October at 2:00pm. This is the rearranged date following the cancellation due to the Queen’s funeral in September. Please just turn up. If this proves to be popular, we may make it a regular activity. Please Email: uparaupchurch@gmail.com for more information.
London Walk
Our second attempt to complete our Regents Canal walk, unfortunately, was also cancelled due to the weather. This will probably now take place in the Spring.
We are hoping to take our next London walk in November to Soho, which was going to be our next London walk before we were curtailed back in March 2020. We will time this in order that we can also take in the Regents Street Christmas Lights.
Lunch Club
The next Lunch Club will be on Tuesday the 25th of October in the Crown, and then on the 8th of November, please see Brenda for more details.
Quiz Night
Our next Quiz Night is on Friday evening, November the 11th. Teams of up to 8, bring your own drink and nibbles, £5 per person. Please book early by Email: uparaupchurch@gmail.com. If you want to come but haven’t a team, please let us know and we will organise. All proceeds towards the Bell Tower Fund.
