News from the South
This issue is tainted in sadness with news of the passing of George Taylor (VPA Committee), Sam Price (Plant Manager) and Nick Reilly (Executive at many GM Plants).
I well remember the tremendous efforts George expended in pension negotiations, the sterling effort Sam gave in running the Luton Plant and the importance of Nick to the formation of and successful inception of the IBC Plant. They will be truly missed and our sincere condolences go to their family and friends.
Elsewhere in this issue there is an article about the 75th anniversary of the VPA and the presentation of £750 cheques to representatives of 10 chosen charities. Our Committee decided that this was the most appropriate way of recognising this landmark event and judging by the comments of the people receiving the money I think we chose well.
I do not have too much else to write this time except to wish you all well and hope that you stay in good form until our next issue.

News from the North
Hi Folks:
As the summer wears on the weather continues to be unpredictable. When there is a couple of days of really warm sunny weather we begin to think “yes summer” only to find the next day it is cold or wet or windy or all three. Still this is England after all.
The June and July socials were well supported and we had two very good entertaining singers on both occasions who appealed to our age group. In June we visited the Black Country Living Museum. Once more the weather was kind to us. There was lots to see and do and altogether a very interesting and worthwhile trip. Our July Snowdonia tour was again enjoyed by an almost full coach. We started off at Tweedmill for coffee and some retail therapy, then took the scenic route to Llanberis to visit the slate museum. Again a very interesting and informative visit after which Darren drove us through the Llanberis pass ending up at Betws-y-Coed (wish we had gone somewhere I could spell) for more coffee and shopping. Altogether a perfect day out.
We have booked our spring holiday this time to Scotland, staying at the Waverly Castle Hotel. This is the Company’s newest acquisition which looks very good set in five acres of grounds. We go on April 30 for five days and the price will be £335 or £365 per person, depending on numbers. We will take names and deposits of £50 per person at the August social.
The Christmas Turkey and Tinsel is fast approaching and full payments can be made in September or October. Our September trip has changed. It will now be Wednesday, September 18 and the venue will be Bury Market. This is instead of the Nantwich Food Festival. In November we revert once more to afternoon socials starting at 1:00 pm.
Well that’s all for now folks so till next time.
Cheerio

Some Very Sad News
In our last Newsletter in June we wrote about the stepping down from the VPA Committee of George Taylor. It is with great sadness that we report that George passed away on 19th July following a very short illness. Our thoughts and condolences are conveyed to George’s family and friends.
We have been advised that Nick Reilly, who held the position of Managing Director Vauxhall Motors, at the time of the closure in 2002, passed away on 8th June 2024 at the age of 74.
Also, Sam Price, who was Luton Plant Manager many years ago, passed away at the grand old age of 102 at the end of May. Sam was Director of Manufacturing for GM Hendon prior to transferring to Vauxhall.

Bill Saul
Most of you, especially those on Facebook, will know of Bill who has been on the VPA Executive Committee for 12 years.
Unfortunately, he was admitted into hospital a couple of weeks ago and after having many tests and scans is currently awaiting the results.
Bill will still be active on Facebook and we are sure that you will all join us in wishing him a speedy recovery

VPA 75th Anniversary – Donations to Charities
The VPA 75th Anniversary event was held on June 25 at Venue 360 (formerly the Brache).
Representatives from each of the nominated charities each gave a presentation explaining their background and what was very evident was the fervour, energy and dedication they displayed. It was, therefore, a very humbling experience for the VPA Committee members present to appreciate how much the individual donations of £750 per charity would benefit the recipients.
All in all an extremely rewarding experience for all concerned and a fitting way to recognise this milestone event. The charities were:
Noah’s Enterprise Visually Impaired People
Luton Foodbank SNOOSC
Animals at Risk Caddington Care
Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust Appledown Rescue
Young@Heart Café Harefield Hospital

Renewal of Driving Licences
Many of us have reached the age when licences have to be renewed every 3 years. If this is done online, please ensure that you use the official DVLA website which is free. Other sites may charge for the renewal.
If your renewal is not straight forward and medical issues need explanations you may be asked for further information. This will involve additional correspondence with the DVLA who will advise that failure to get information back to them within a certain time frame will result ‘in your licence being revoked’.
We are making you aware of Section 88 of the Road Traffic Act states that ‘As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and completed application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria you may drive. If you are unsure about if you meet the medical criteria for driving, you can check your conditions in the ‘Assessing Fitness to Drive’ guide for healthcare professionals which can be found at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive

Parking Tickets
Getting back to your car to find a parking ticket on your windscreen can feel frustrating. Our guide covers when you can challenge a ticket, and how parking fines work
Key takeaways:
There are 3 different types of parking tickets you are likely to encounter:
- If you do not think your fine is justified, you can appeal your parking ticket
- Parking tickets do not affect your insurance
- Failure to pay your parking fines can result in court action
Types of parking tickets:
Understanding the kind of parking ticket you have received is crucial, as the appeal process can vary significantly. Here is a quick rundown of the traffic penalties you might encounter:
Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN):
The police, council, or the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) can issue an FPN for a variety will typically have 28 days to pay up in England and Wales before the fine increases by 50%. Ignoring the FPN can lead to court action, so it is not something to be taken lightly.
Penalty Charge Notice (PCN):
Local authority traffic wardens are the usual culprits behind PCNs. These notices can also be issued for failing to pay charges like the London congestion fee. It is important to distinguish these from Excess Charge Notices (ECNs), which are a criminal charge and carry different implications.
Parking Charge Notice/PCN:
Yes, it is confusing, but PCNs also refer to notices issued by private companies for parking on their land, such as at a supermarket or hospital. These are not backed by law in the same way and function more like invoices for breaking a contract. Early payment often comes with a discount, but if you do not pay, you could find yourself facing court action.
Is the ticket justified?
Before you rush to challenge a parking ticket, take a moment to consider whether it was justified. Did you inadvertently break the parking conditions, or did you park without permission on private property? Remember, private companies cannot fine you - they can only claim you breached a contract.
When can you challenge a parking ticket?
It is generally not worth challenging a ticket if you clearly violated parking rules, such as resting on double yellow lines. However, if you have been wronged by faulty technology, misleading signs, or if there were extenuating circumstances, you might have a case. Just be sure to back up your claim with solid evidence.
Know your rights if you are clamped or towed: Getting clamped or towed adds insult to injury. It is usually a result of illegal parking, invalid insurance, or an untaxed vehicle. Note that in England, Scotland, and Wales, private operators cannot legally clamp or tow on private land - only authorised public bodies have that power. And do not even think about removing a clamp yourself; that is a one-way ticket to a criminal damage charge.
How do I challenge a parking ticket?
First, identify who issued the ticket. If it is an official ticket, start with an informal challenge. If that does not work, escalate to a formal challenge and, if necessary, an independent tribunal. Be warned: appeals do not have a high success rate and can be a hassle, so only go down this road if you genuinely believe the ticket was unfair.
Do you have to pay for a private parking fine?
A private parking fine requires legal backing to enforce payment. If your ticket is from the police or council, you will need to pay it. Private company-issued tickets are a different beast – they are essentially invoices for perceived contract breaches. Ignoring them is not wise, as they can escalate to a small claims court.
How do I challenge a private parking ticket?
First, check if the company is a member of a trade body like the BPA or IPC. If so, follow their official appeals process, which usually starts with an appeal to the firm itself. If that fails, you can take it to the trade body's appeals service. For companies not affiliated with a trade body, proceed with caution and consider seeking legal advice before ignoring their tickets.
Do parking tickets affect my car insurance?
Parking tickets should not affect your car insurance premium, because parking tickets are not a reflection of whether you drive safely. Instead, car insurers look at driving-related factors like speeding tickets.
Tips for avoiding parking tickets:
To keep your windshield ticket-free, here are a few pointers:
- Steer clear of parking on double yellow lines or in clearways.
- Always display your parking ticket or permit clearly.
- Familiarise yourself with local restrictions and never assume disabled parking is exempt from rules.
Dealing with parking tickets can be a real headache, especially when you feel they have been unjustly issued. It is important to understand who is issuing the ticket and the reasons behind it. Ignoring the ticket is not a recommended course of action. Instead, if you decide to appeal, act swiftly, gather your evidence, and follow the proper channels. Remember, knowledge is power when it comes to parking tickets, and a well-informed driver is a well-armed one.

Trip Reports
Thursday, June 6 - Brighton
A group of 46 young at heart VPA members boarded the coach and left Luton at 9:00 am, arriving by the seaside at 11:00 am. It was a lovely sunny day, although the sea breeze blew in a tad chilly. Nevertheless our intrepid tourists all enjoyed the day with a substantial number of them partaking of the pensioners’ special lunch of fish and chips, tea or coffee and bread and butter, before seeing the various sights at hand. They then boarded the coach for the return journey to Luton at 4:00 pm having had a most enjoyable day out. As usual thanks to Sylvia and Dave for organising it and Andy, the coach driver, for getting the group there.
Thursday, July 18 - Norfolk Lavender Fields and Villages Tour
Due to some last minute withdrawals a group of only 44 left Luton at 8:00 am arriving at the destination at 11:00 am, having lost about 20 minutes due to a lorry delivering bricks blocking one side of the road. How we laughed!
We were joined on arrival by our Tour Guide, Lynne, and went on a trip around the villages in the proximity of the Lavender Fields. This focussed mainly around Sandringham with the group getting lots of information from Lynne. All too soon this part of the day ended and we returned to base to be fed a most welcome fish and chips lunch. How often do we say that fish tastes much better the nearer to the sea you eat it? Lynne then departed having given us all a small memento of the day - lavender of course.We then had free time before boarding the coach back to Luton at 4:30 pm.
One small aside. I had been telling those around me on the morning coach journey how tasty lavender scones are. With certain appetites truly whetted it is sad to report that yours truly purchased the last 2 in the shop so those appetites were not satisfied. I did feel a little guilty, but only a little!

Singles Golf Championship – June 25
Golf Mexican Scramble at Stockwood Park
The annual VPA Singles Golf Championship was once again held at the Stockwood Park Golf course and once again it was won by a Stockwood Park player. New comer to the VPA golfing group was 15.6 handicapper Dave Conway who played amazingly well to win the coveted IBC Trophy.
The course itself was generally well kept and the recent dry weather conditions meant the ball travelled greater distances than normal, but the grass on the greens was not as finely cut, so making the putting surfaces relatively slow.
For some of the members this did not really deter them from playing a high standard of golf. However, for some of the older players the very hot, sunny and the humid weather did have an adverse effect on their concentration and stamina i.e. some of the ‘old sods’ have probably reached their sell-by date! C’est de vie…
The event was an 18 hole Stableford points competition and when a player scores 36 points he is playing to his club handicap. This year’s champion, Dave Conway, was six shots better than this and amassed 42 points which was 4 shots better than last year’s champion (and club mate) Mick Shea.
Also playing exceptionally well was Woburn golfer, Peter Johnson, with a very creditable score of 40 points. In third place was VPA golf stalwart, Alan Everitt, with 36 points. In fourth and fifth place respectively was Jim Heaney and Martin Redmond who both scored 35 points.
The nearest to the pin prizes were closely contested and low handicap player Alan Everitt won the 178 yard 7th hole whilst Alan Smith won the 153 yard 14th hole.
Many VPA members started their golfing careers at Stockwood Park and returning after many years later was like having a trip down memory lane. It was easy to reflect when we were young and fit and the golf course seemed a lot shorter with less big trees. Perhaps most important at the Club House the food was just two and sixpence a pint.
How times have changed. Nevertheless, all nineteen golfers enjoyed the VPA event which concluded at the nineteenth hole where they sat down for a well-earned traditional golfers late lunch and for some well-rehearsed banter and abuse. A raffle was held which ensured that the majority of members went home with a prize.
The next VPA Golf-day is a team event which will be held at the Harpenden Common Golf Club, Harpenden on Thursday, August 15, 2024. All registered players will be sent entry forms by email and any other VPA Club golfers are welcome to join in these events. The contact is Mike Roberts – [email protected]
