Hello, and welcome to our new members.
We now start our Summer season of activities, although currently the weather is not too warm. Hopefully it will improve so that we can enjoy the various excursions we have planned for this season. Our first two excursions occur during the next three weeks, and we still have seats available. The Beamish excursion will revive
memories of our earlier lives and is guaranteed to generate the question “do you remember when” from many of our passengers. The Holehird Garden excursion will offer a feast of sights and smells as we travel through the Lake District to Windermere, then visit this beautiful garden. In the later excursion, because we are travelling by minibus, we will be able to park next to the Walled Garden and thus avoid the long up hill walk along the drive.
The Newsletter (emailed to members, lovingly put together and very informative) is again full of reports from our Groups, which demonstrates what a talented and vibrant u3a we are. For new members especially, these reports give a flavour of what each Group does and has to offer for an enquiring mind. Although we do not have another Members Meeting until September, Stewartry u3a is still very active, so do please keep in touch. I look forward to seeing you on our Summer excursions.
Stephen, Chair
