Responses to TG letters
Following the 2019 AGM, and the adoption of our new mandate on motorists' health, we wrote to the DVLA to express our concerns and find out what their view of the situation is. You can read their response here:

We also wrote to Rachel Maclean MP, who had tabled a Ten Minute Rule Bill prior to the AGM regarding drivers with dementia. As this connects to our mandate, we felt it appropriate to write and offer our support, and we received a lovely hand-written letter in response:
Rachel Maclean response
In the wake of these letters, we would encourage members to contact the DVLA with your thoughts on how they responded, and to contact Rachel to offer any support your Guild is able to - or if your Guild is local to her constituency of Redditch County, you could even invite her along to speak at your meeting.

Marie’s 50 years in TG -
Marie’s daughter Indra told us about her Mum’s long TG membership and how she is inspiration to all who meet and get to know her.
Marie Pooran came to Britain in the 1960s (from the Caribbean) and joined the Tottenham Evening Townswomen's Guild in 1971, a quintesentially British organisation which she has contributed fully to it - and continues to do so. At that time she was the only Asian member and actually for all of her 50 years has been one of few across many guilds and a rarity when attending the AGM and other events.
