Hello, and a warm welcome to our new members
The full Monthly Newsletter is emailed to members.
With summer in full swing, the newsletter emailed to members contains details of our Summer excursions offered over the next three months. Please book your seats on these excursions as soon as possible.
There are also reports on our recent excursions together with articles on several of our Groups activities so far this summer.
It is at this time of year that we must think about recruiting members to join our managing team who oversee the running of our u3a. At the November AGM we will have up to 6 vacancies to fill, including the important role of treasurer. To enable time to train a new team it is important that members come forward now to help run our u3a. Please come forward and offer your help. For more details about the various roles please contact our Secretary, details at end of Newsletter.
As many members will be aware, the Stewartry is again subject to various planning applications for the building of windfarms and ‘energy farms’. Our u3a, together with several others around Scotland, have been contacted requesting support for the ‘Highland Convention’ which is calling on the Scottish Government to “undertake a planning commission to address the whole cumulative impact of all major energy infrastructure developments”.
If any members do not wish our u3a to support this proposal please let me know as soon as possible,
Stephen Bullock, Chair
