It's been a while since our last blog, we apologise for that. We have been busy doing lots of things though, We arranged 2 Christmas market trips in November/December 2021, Had our annual Christmas Bazaar last year. This year as well as our usual clubs we have had several Sunday afternoon teas and Bayram lunches, Our ladies have gone to the theatre to see My Fair Lady which was amazing over the summer, We had a very successful Summer lunch as well and this month we arranged a wonderful trip to Edinburgh and Rossylin Castle. Our AGM was yesterday and we have a new chair Seyyare Beyzade. We would like to congratulate her on her new post and wish her luck and look forward to all the wonderful things she will be planning for our community. We have several new committee member this year Nazan Mustafa, Fatos Cahit, Hulya Dervis and Duygu Halil, we would like to thank them for volunteering for these posts and look forward to getting to know them all better and working with them. The remaining members include Nurgul Aktekin, Inci Shevki and Havva Beyzade and Hulya Degirmencioglu. Hulya and Havva are our wonderful dedicated oldies who have been volunteering for many years and whom without their loyalty and commitment and enthusiasm the TWPA would not be the great institution that it is.

We must not forget to thank our old chair, Semahat Mustafa, who is still committed to our charity and will now be heading our disciplinary committee. She has been our chair for the last 3 years, and throughout covid was a beacon of light to many of us, our steady oak tree.

Thank you all so much for all your hard work.
