Hello, and a warm welcome to our new members
The full Monthly Newsletter is emailed to members.
We produce our monthly Newsletter to keep our members informed about what is happening in our u3a. This month we have several reports from Groups which are full of interesting details about the subjects that they are passionate about. You cannot fail to learn something new when reading these reports. Joining an interest Group is a simple and enjoyable way of learning new things, and is also a good way of making new friends.
Our Events Team have been busy counting your votes selecting the ‘big coach’ excursions for 2025. Each of the venues in the final selection received over 50 votes, so as the coach carries 49 passengers please read the article below and keep an eye on future Newsletters for announcements when each excursion is open for bookings.
Members who attended the January meeting told me how much they enjoyed the talk on Flying with the Royals with its many behind the scenes stories of worldwide travel. This month we have possibly a more sensitive talk by Kate Phillips on Scottish involvement in the slave trade. Kate’s talk entitled Bought and Sold may broaden our knowledge on this period of local history.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting on Tuesday 25th February, do please come to me and say hello, especially if you are a new member.
Stephen Bullock, Chair
