Hello, and welcome to our new members.
This month we hold our Annual General Meeting which gives members an opportunity to reflect on the many interesting and varied activities we have enjoyed throughout the past 12 months. This is also the opportunity to thank our Committee members who have worked so hard to make our u3a so vibrant and fulfilling. DO PLEASE ATTEND this meeting so that you can show your support. The AGM will be followed by a seasonal presentation by the very popular Mostly Ghostly artists, who will be talking about the history of the Crichton. Please see the atmospheric poster accompanying the Newsletter. At the end of the meeting, we will adjourn to the Church Hall for refreshments, where on the Events table the Team will be collecting ideas from members for destinations that we may include in our Excursion Programme for 2025. Please think about where you would like to visit next year and add your suggestions to the list. This will be the last Newsletter for 2024. We hope that you have enjoyed reading it every month and that it has enhanced your experience as a member of Stewartry u3a. We owe a big thank you to Helen Henderson who is the Editor, as well as all the contributors who have written fascinating articles. We can be very proud of our Newsletter. We look forward to seeing you at the AGM where you will hear that our u3a is in good fettle for the future. PS: we have a full committee for next year, so you can come with a clear conscience!
Stephen Bullock, Chair
