Newsletter message from our Stewartry U3A Chair
The full newsletter is emailed to all members monthly.
Hello, and welcome to our new members.
This months newsletter is a little earlier than usual. Our next Monthly Members Meeting is on Tuesday 27th February at 2pm in Castle Douglas Parish Church. Our speaker this month is Michael Perry who is a member of our u3a. Michael’s talk, entitled “The Astronomers Tool Kit”, will be a fascinating explanation about how we can see and appreciate the universe around us. Michael promises his talk will be understandable and not too technical.
Our talk last month given by Stuart Anderson from the Stroke Association was very informative, which included Stuart recounting his personal experience of suffering a stroke. Stuart left us with a small supply of “help” cards which will be available at our next meeting.
Again a big thank you to those Groups who have submitted articles for this months newsletter. If your Group has not submitted an article recently, please let all our members know what your Group enjoys by writing a short article for a future newsletter. By spreading the word about all our Groups all members benefit and it may also help to attract new members.
This months newsletter contains information about upcoming excursions. This year our Events Team will be running three major excursions, with several mini excursions being organised by our Groups. Please support these excursions as our Events Team and a number of facilitators devote a lot of time and effort in making these excursions happen. Every excursion that I have been on has been a pleasure and fun!
I look forward to seeing you at the next members meeting and I hope that we will have an opportunity to have a chat after the meeting whilst enjoying refreshments in the Church Hall.
Stephen Bullock, Chair
