Bashford, John Updated	Sls	John writes 22/9/10... Hi one and all. The day has finally come and I will retire from Kraft on 30 September 2010 after 20 years of private label coffee here in Cheltenham. I should have gone at the end of April, and then at the end of July, but I have such an important (sic) job that it has taken them this long to find a successor. The truth is that nobody wanted to do it, so HR went outside the business for someone on a short term contract whilst they sort out the closure of the Cheltenham offices in 2011 and move the business to Cadbury offices at either Bourneville or Uxbridge. Shame that I am so old as I may have been in line for redundancy and a pension. I have no idea what I will do next, other than all the jobs around our house and garden that have been neglected for too long and I’m sure Lynda is making a secret list of jobs that I haven’t even considered. However, that should keep me going for the next few years. As I’m leaving Kraft my email address will revert to home at jldbashford@aol.com Best wishes to all.	.

All the rooms are finished except for one which will end up being our bedroom. The outside grounds are slowly being developed to include a Jacuzzi and a small waterfall flowing into a fish pond. The Patio has now been completed on the left hand side of the rear garden but the right hand rear section still requires a lot of tidying up and a few wall/sheds to be built hopefully this summer when the weather gets better. The Front garden is now much better since we moved the pathway and rebuilt the well! Pat is working part time in the village for 16 hrs a week and I am helping around the house and garden in between assisting her with the running of the B&B. We have now purchased a lovely new two bedroomed ground floor maisonette in a place called Yalikavak near Bodrum in Turkey which will be completed in July this year. If anyone wishes to rent it out please give us a ring. We will be going over there in July to furnish it . Its only 250 metres from the beach in a quiet residential cul-de-sac which contains 7 detached dwellings ( Two Maisonettes) surrounding a large swimming pool.

Stobbart, Shirley (Richardson)	PkDev	Shirley writes...We have moved to The Hague, Netherlands. Have just moved in and am sitting amid boxes, but have managed to get an internet connection so am feeling quite proud of myself – my dutch is non existent and bureaucracy runs rife here so nothing is easy!! The reason for the move is that Bruce has changed jobs and is now working for Shell, part of the Six Sigma implementation team. It’s an adventure and very different, but I’m sure we will both enjoy living in Holland once we have settled in. The dutch are very friendly (if not very customer focused!) and The Hague is a lovely, green, small city. For my part, I am to become a part time lady of leisure. I will still be working on the odd occasion for OMT in the UK, they have asked me to go back to carry out Six Sigma training there for them. Apart from that I have nothing planned as yet, but am sure I will be kept busy helping Bruce.

Trill, Harry	Sls	13/9/10, Harry writes... Hello Sol-Tenco folk. Maisie and I had an invite to Pat Gilmour's 60th surprise party.We were away at the time so we made a DVD to be played on the day wishing Pat well etc; I said Pat was a youngster at 60!! I celebrated my 80th last week!!! Still able to get out and about and still fully involved with my amateur film making hobby. Maisie and I support the film competitions and over the past few years now go over to Guernsey for the Guernsey Lily Amateur Film Festival. I entered two short films and to my surprise received two commended certificates. I felt OLD the other day when my grandaughter drove up in her car!! My other grnandaughter has just passed her test and my first grandson,20, is on to his third car. THIRD CAR?? Do not ask!! I have five lovely grandchildren. I still hold village film shows and raised £1,200 for charity at the last one in April . Maisie and I are still able to keep the Scout Mini Bus on the road. Maisie bought a second hand one a few years ago and it has done sterling service and has brought a great deal of pleasure to many people.It is used by Scouts and others all year round. This is a VERY practical way of contributing to charity as you actually see every penny used. No admin charges. I am a Vice President,an honorary title, of the Charing History Society and a part of the photographic group. We are planning another public show of photos. After our last successful show we published a Pictorial History of Charing and had pr-orders for over five hundred copies of our 1,000 print run. Maisie and I have today returned from a weeks break in Somerset. As members of the National Trust we get to visit some lovely places. I record the social history of Charing on film and after 35 years I do have some archieve material. Getting old?? No I am too busy. I enjoyed every day I was with the Sol-Tenco gang. Regards to all who may take the trouble to read my ramblings. Harry Trill	.

In recent years I part-owned and managed a resort in the tropics here. I retired a few years ago, live in north Queensland and get back to the UK every now and then (but only in summer!).
Wingrove Alan	Ops	9/4/06: I worked for Sol Tenco (and Sol Café) from late 1970s to the mid 80s. Worked as a packaging technologist – reported to Chris Pomeroy/David Moulder – and alongside Chris Stemman, Ain Khan, Harry Ovington, Ken Jones, Henry (the Pole whose name I never could spell) the warehouseman, and numerous others that I was proud to call my colleagues back then. Left ST to join LT – then moved to Dairy Crest – then to LT (all of 8 days!!) – then onto Tesco where I spent 10 years – thereafter worked as a consultant for 4 years before being lured back to full time work (haha) by an ex Tesco colleague at a company called 3663.	.
