WELCOME

The Association came into being in October 2004.

The form also contains a list of our Special Interest Groups, so please indicate if you are interested in participating in any of them.

If you are renewing your Membership, please use the form on the Renewal link.


General Information

Various general social events take place throughout the year, including a Coffee Morning on the last Tuesday of most months. There are also a number of Special Interest Groups who organize more specific activities.

Currently the Association's membership includes very few retired members of staff based in Cornwall as its activities tend to be focused on the Exeter area and its Devon surroundings. However, special group outings do take members from time to time into Cornwall and UERSA would welcome an interest from potential Cornwall colleagues in extending its activities in the Duchy.

For contacts and further information, please follow the links on the left.

We have a policy document explaining our obligations under data protection legislation. See the information below.

What's New

David C-C has compiled the May Newsletter (No. 66) which has now been circulated. It can also be downloaded from this link. David hopes you enjoy reading about some of the events that have taken place recently and details of forthcoming events ... and two quizzes!
As always he would welcome any comments and/or suggestions you might have on how the newsletter could be improved.


The Summer Party

David B says:

" ... very successful UERSA summer party. I think it was right to go ahead - yes, it was warm inside the pavilion but our members seemed to find it quite bearable. Particular thanks, as always, to Bruce for managing our occupation of the pavilion so well; thanks also to his colleagues for manning the bar.The collection for the Devon Rescue Group raised £236. "

See below for two pictures of the event.
