Minutes of the 2019 AGM available at last
Each year we have to get the previous year’s minutes approved before we can upload them to the website. Because of Covid, the 2019 minutes were approved at last Friday’s AGM.
Come to our AGM on April 29th
David Fenton
David Fenton
It is with much regret and my sad duty to inform members of the Association that David Fenton passed away on the 2nd of June, in the Care home where he was residing in Denham.
I understand he succumbed to “a long standing, underlying infection”, (not Covid related) and, no doubt, his recent loss only last December, of Fay, his wife, will not have helped.
David had served in various capacities on the Committee, during his service from 1998 to 2013.
He served as a Committee Member; Road Steward; Area Steward; and from 1999 to 2011, as Treasurer of the Association. He eventually left the committee in 2013 due to “hearing problems”.
In addition to the above, he worked tirelessly monitoring the Cala Development on the Ex USN base, with frequent meetings with the developer to mitigate noise and nuisance emanating from the site during its construction.
His wife Fay was always in attendance with him at Association events helping out with the refreshments – an important element of any Association’s functioning.
David will be sadly missed by those who served with him in the Association, and personally by myself and Vanetta, who had become close friends of them both.
Pete Daymond. President.
AGM postponed and Coronavirus
In view of the rapidly changing situation and advice on the Coronavirus outbreak, we have taken the decision to postpone our AGM scheduled for 17th April 2020. Once the situation has eased we will call an EGM to cover the decisions we would normally have made at the AGM and we will let you have the requisite notice of its date.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but feel it is the safest and wisest course of action.
This information will be going on our website and via all our other means of communication but if you could let any neighbours who are not on social media know, we would be very grateful.
Also in the true spirit of our village community:
Lets keep looking out for each other
We are rightly proud of our community spirit in Ickenham and, over the coming weeks, please have a think about your friends and neighbours that might need a hand.
Age UK says:
Stay in touch over the phone, by post, online or by popping over for a chat.
See if people need any shopping or help by running some errands.
Encourage people to stay active around the house and keep moving.
Do you care about Ickenham?
Do you love Ickenham and would like to help oil the wheels of the Residents’ Association?
We are looking for someone to take on the role of Minutes Secretary to take the minutes of the monthly meetings and the AGM.
Are you interested or do you know anyone who might be? Like all the Committee posts, it is voluntary and you can become involved in other Committee work as much or as little as you like.
The Committee is non-political and it would help if you were too, although we’re not averse to having members who are passionate about local issues.
Please contact June Reyner, our General Secretary, at ickenhamresidents@hotmail.com in the first instance.
We look forward to hearing from you.
O to be a road steward!
The Ickenham Residents’ Association’s (largely unsung) heroes are the volunteer road stewards who deliver the Ickenham Calling newsletter to our members and collect the subs once a year. This activity keeps Association members informed on a range of issues including HS2 of course, road safety and traffic, the fight against crime, health, conservation and green spaces,
Every so often, the Committee organises a thank you knees up. Well, not quite a knees up, more a quiz evening with food and drink thrown in (not literally).
We get a sprinkling of emails after the event from some of the attendees. They always seem to have a good time and appreciate the Committee’s efforts. (Not me, this year, I was away sadly.)
Here are just some of the comments we received from our 26th July event. We have mixed them up and preserved the writers’ anonymities.
They opened with comments like these:
“A really happy event.” “Most enjoyable.” “Such fun.” “A good evening.” “Enjoyable and good fun.” “Appreciated by all.” “Warm and welcoming.”
In the middle, they said things like:
“A good way to meet and greet lots of good friends and acquaintances.” “The food was really delicious.” “The quizzes were challenging and fun.” “The quiz was excellent.” “Much laughter and giggling as we wracked our brains.”
And, at the end, apart from lots of “thank you”s their closing remarks included:
“I do applaud the hard work that must have gone in.” “A great job.” “Such a success.” “We happily went home.”
Hope that last one wasn’t provoked by relief.
PS (If you fancy becoming a road steward, after reading this, you’d be very welcome. If so, please send us an email. Thank you.)

The Committee members, left to right are, Humphrey Tizard, David John and Neena Bedi.
John Squiers
It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of John Squiers. John was a long-time committee member of the Association and was Membership Secretary for a good number of years. He was very persuasive on the Association’s behalf. If he called to discuss a member’s offer of help, they somehow ended up doing more than they had originally thought!! He was also one of life’s true gentlemen in both senses of the word a very gentle man and an old fashioned courteous man . He will be greatly missed.
This picture shows John doing sterling work for the Association during Gala Day in 2002.
