IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOMINATE. REMEMBER NOMINATIONS SHOULD HAVE THE CONSENT OF THE NOMINEE!
An important part of the work of U3A is its activity groups.
Last year's activities included: Book Club, Bowls, Bridge, Computing,
Digital Photography, French, Natural History, Spanish, Walks and Theatre Visits.
We do hope you will plan to join in some of these interesting and entertaining activities.
The plans for each group are on separate pages (Click on SideBar top right to see them)
Encourage your friends to come along too. We presently have 120 members.
The more members we have, the more varied will be the activities we can undertake.
Secretary: Gary Shaw
Each month we run a Book-Swap to raise money for charity, so you can bring along any books you have finished with, and for a small sum take home a good read.
Secretary: Gary Shaw, telephone: 028 25652581
