  • April Newsletter
    the APRIL NEWSLETTER INTERVIEW WITH JANE YOWARD, our VICE CHAIRMAN. Hello Jane, are you an Emsworth resident of old, or where did you reside before? We moved to Emsworth the day the King died (6th February 1952 for those that don't know … or can’t remember) when I was just 4 months old. My parents were both pharmacists, having met on their first day at pharmacy college, and managed Mr. Williams' pharmacy at 22 North Street. We lived at 18a Victoria Road as the house came with the job before moving to Slipper Mill in 1970. It was strange at first, meeting in the Community Centre, as that had been my junior school and the parish hall was where we had lunch when I started school. I moved away in 1976 to the Thames Valley for my work but the pull of Emsworth was so strong that when I had a contract in Havant in 1987, I moved back. A lot of my friends did the same so they were around when I returned. All being well, you are to be our next u3a Chairman, how do you feel about this? Nervous but honoured that people have that much faith in me. I know I will have a lot of support. When did you join our u3a? I retired in September 2014 and thought I would spend the first few months sorting the house out ... it’s still waiting to be done! My father was a member of Ems Valley u3a and took me to the Christmas party as his guest.
