April 2021 Newsletter April Newsletter 2021 Spring blossom in the Editor’s garden. MARCH VIRTUAL GENERAL MEETING At our last Virtual General Meeting in March, Dick Fox gave us a Presentation entitled ‘A Trip Down Memory Lane with Mr. Fox’. This was a 25-minute Pictorial View of some of the many U3A trips that we as members have taken over the years, and it bought back many memories. On behalf of the Committee and Members I would thank Dick for all his time and effort that he put into it. Bernie Smith Speakers Secretary Page 1 Stanford-le-Hope & District u3a –April 2021 Newsletter Nice to be out in the fresh air at Thameside Nature Park today! Photo by Steve and Tessa Duggan Our next virtual General Meeting on Zoom will be held on Thursday 8th April at 2pm. The meeting will be opened by our Chairman and will be followed by Diane Howells (one of our members) with a Pictorial Presentation entitled ’Darwin to Melbourne’ and it follows her trip across Australia (in a campervan) with her husband in 2009. The presentation will last approx. 30 minutes. More details and Zoom link have been sent to you by email Membership I would like to say thank you to all 346 of you who have renewed up to this point. It has been a more difficult process this year due to the lack of face-to-face contact. The £10 renewal offer is still open until April 30th if you are still wavering. Any problems with forms, please contact me, and I will try to help. Remember, if you renew after April 30th, you will be regarded as a new member, and will be charged our joining fee of £15. John Green, 01375 676441 Page 2 Stanford-le-Hope & District u3a –April 2021 Newsletter Don’t forget that we need new committee members. We currently have 1 new candidate, but are losing 5 who have completed their time of office. You can still offer – get in touch with any committee member to help you. Chairman’s Comments Do you remember when all we spoke of was Brexit…oh happy days! But, we are where we are and it is what it is. As our vaccinations are now over 25 million life begins to stir for us personally and for our u3a. I think it is the same for most of us as week by week, we feel a little more optimistic, and we’ve even booked a UKation. Although the very strong March winds almost spoilt it a little, the spring sunshine, lighter nights and warming days remind us that spring has sprung, with the March daffodils nodding in agreement to reinforce that good feeling. Our first step out of lockdown has allowed us to meet one other person, not of our household, for a walk and for a coffee. Our second step allowed the start of outdoor sports activities and using the familiar Rule of Six, many of our group activities can come out of hibernation. We must always remember the rules that have served us well: mask, distance and hygiene. I must say thank you to all who have renewed their memberships and our membership secretary John Green, reports that the uptake has been very strong. Many thanks to John for a great deal of work during these renewal months. As we begin anew, we hope that most of our groups will restart BUT some may not. A year is a long time and things will have changed for some of us. It’s from our members that we need new groups or existing groups that are full, to be duplicated. Some leaders may need to change as well. There is plenty of help available so please don’t keep thinking about it, make it happen, just do it. We’re not getting any younger. Page 3 Stanford-le-Hope & District u3a –April 2021 Newsletter Talking of getting older, did you know there’s a Haynes manual for retired pensioners? Don’t buy it as it’s only from the men’s perspective. I didn’t know I needed a manual to get older. A very old chap said to his wife, “I must confess that I was unfaithful with some redhead at the back of Woolworths in 1968, I was drunk at the time. His wife said, “That was me and so was I”. An old friend of mine told me that if he were a car he would trade himself in for a newer model. He said every time he coughs or sneezes, his radiator leaks and his exhaust backfires. They say you get OCD as you get older. I’ve checked hundreds of times and I don’t have it. The nurse said to the old lady, “I want a stool sample and a urine sample.” “What she say?” said the old lady. Her husband replied. “She wants your underwear”. Good News. With our various media sources seemly intent on only reporting on the bad news from our trading and social relationship with the departed EU, there is a great deal of good news and here’s a couple of examples. Good news No 1. Now no longer blanketed by the anonymous and indistinguishable EU flag, all British made goods must now display the Union Jack and experts believe that this simple move could add £3.5 billion to our outward trading economy. Good news No 2. Our Secretary of State for International Trade Liz Truss submitted our accession letter to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans – Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). This will give the UK access to this fast-growing Free Trade Area, opening up Britain to more opportunities in these rapidly developing parts of the world. The CPTPP countries are Australia, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, Malaysia, Canada and Mexico. By opening up those markets, we are giving more prospects to British businesses by lowering barriers to trade, whether these are tariffs on products from cars to whisky, whether it is making it easier for digital companies to export to computer and financial technology companies. All of which will mean more jobs and growth here in the United Kingdom. Colin Munro Chairman Page 4 Stanford-le-Hope & District u3a –April 2021 Newsletter A Handy Book Source With several of our groups interested in all that is books plus many of our members being keen readers of a great variety of topics, both factual and fiction this might be useful to know. One source of books that I have used for many years is Bibliophile. They are a British company based in Poplar, London. They sell out-of-print books on a massive range of subjects; many fascinating books at much reduced prices. Copy and paste the link below or type it in your search bar. https://www.bibliophilebooks.com/WebRoot/Store/Shops/Bibliophile/4DC1/ 304F/E927/3180/420E/C0A8/647D/D51E/C390webcat.pdf Book Group Ann Bailey Dawn Lloyd Warne 01375461885 We had a zoom meeting in March. At present I'm hoping to get copies of The Essex Serpent. The filming of it has been spotted in Maldon, and at one time they were asking for extras. My acting career began and ended at school with Nativity plays! Thanks to Sue I had a good book week. Suffolk libraries were doing a question-and-answer session with several authors. I watched Sophie Hannah who writes the new Poirot stories, also Elly Griffiths, an author enjoyed by our group. She writes forensic archaeology mysteries set in Norfolk. The final one was Kathy Reichs, an American crime author. It’s always interesting to hear what inspires an author. At the moment, I'm re-reading the Almonds and Raisins trilogy by Maisie Mosco, thank goodness for Amazon and suchlike. April Quiz 1. What is the April birthstone? 2. What is the April moon called? 3. Who wrote" Whan that Aprille with its shoures soote"? 4. Who died on April 23rd,1616? 5. Which current war-torn country gained independence from France in April,1946? Page 5 Stanford-le-Hope & District u3a –April 2021 Newsletter 6. Which US state joined the Union in April 1788? 7. What is the traditional flower for April? 8. What day is Earth Day? 9. Which country celebrates Anzac Day, April 25th 10 Which city was hit by an earthquake, on April 18th,1906? DON’T FORGET TO CONTACT OUR WELFARE AND DISABILITIES OFFICER if you know of any member that is very ill or in hospital; or has passed away. Magda Norris 07484658131 When you contact Magda, she will require the following information. 1. The name of the member. 2. Whether they are hospital bound or at home. If in hospital please let us have which hospital and ward name if possible. 3. Their illness or incapacity if known. Their address we can obtain from our data base. It should be noted that no committee member will visit any member at home or in hospital without an invitation. However, we would like to be kept updated as to our member’s progress. Also, if you know of any member who has passed away or has lost their partner, knowledge of this sad happening will help us to express our commiserations and support. Page 6 Stanford-le-Hope & District u3a –April 2021 Newsletter Family History Sue Green 01375 676441 Peter Craggs How did you find filling out the census? Once logged in I found it quick and easy although annoying that it was one question at a time. I wanted to print off my answers to put in my Family History box for my relatives who might want to see it before 2121 but I was not prepared to print off one page per question! Completing the census online must be more accurate though.

  • Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies
    More than a Directory! Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies 1st Edition, April 2013 © 2013 by J. R. Kuehmayer www.amem.at Cruise Ship Owners / Operators Preface The AMEM Publication “Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Compa- nies” in fact is more than a directory! Company co-ordinates It is not only the most comprehensively and accurately structured listing of cruise ship owners and operators in the industry, despite the fact that the majority of cruise lines is more and more keeping both the company’s coordinates and the managerial staff secret. The entire industry is obtrusively focused on selling their services weeks and months ahead of the specific cruise date, collecting the money at a premature stage and staying almost unattainable for their clients pre and after cruise requests. They simply ignore the fact that there are suppliers and partners around who wish to keep in touch personally at least with the cruise line’s technical and procurement departments! The rest of the networking-information is camouflaged by the yellow-pages industry, which is facing a real prospect of extinction. The economic downturn is sending the already ailing business into a tailspin. The yellow-pages publishers basically give back in one downturn what took seven years to grow! Cruise Ship Financing It is more than a directory as it unveils the shift in the ship financing sector and uncovers how fast the traditional financiers to the cruise shipping industry fade away and perverted forms of financing are gaining ground. Admittedly there are some traditional banks around, which can maintain their market position through a blend of sober judgements, judicious risk management and solid relationships.

  • ICON of IDENTITY: the ILE DE FRANCE on the WORLD STAGE by Christian Roden
    OCTOBER, 2020 VOLUME XXXVII, # IX Friday, October 30, 2020 – VIA ZOOM at 6:00 PM ICON OF IDENTITY: THE ILE DE FRANCE ON THE WORLD STAGE By Christian Roden Clockwise from top left: A rendering of French Line’s ILE DE FRANCE at sea; artist’s impression of her First Class Foyer; a post-World War II brochure cover; a rendering of her First Class Dining Room from a 1920’s brochure; First Class Deck Plan cover form the 1930’s. (Christian Roden Collection / Bob Allen Collection / CGT) The “ILE DE FRANCE” was recognized around the world as an extension of French society. Conceived as a way of proclaiming the nation’s political influence and cultural achievement through her groundbreaking Art Deco interiors, over the course of her thirty-two year career the vessel found herself playing the role of trendsetter, cinema muse, troopship, and rescue vessel. Historian Christian Roden will share long- forgotten stories of the “ILE DE FRANCE” uncovered at the Association French Line archives. Christian is an independent maritime historian, curator, and author, specializing in the French, Swedish, and American merchant marine. He has published in the Winterthur Portfolio and Magazine of the Decorative Arts Trust, and has guest-curated exhibitions at the American Swedish Historical Museum in Philadelphia and the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library in Wilmington, Delaware. He holds an MA from the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture, and a BA in Art History and English from Washington and Lee University. He was a 2011- 2012 Fulbright Research Fellow at L'Association French Lines in Le Havre, France.
