DESPERATELY SEEKING …..COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Our Chairman, Peter Flannery, will retire in February, and we will need a replacement for him from the current committee. Janet Membury, our Speakers’ Coordinator, is also retiring. This means we will be two committee members short, and we urgently need replacements. If you are interested in joining our friendly team (free coffee and biscuits at committee meetings!) please talk to any committee member, and come along to a meeting.

YOUR U3A NEEDS YOU -WE MUST HAVE VOLUNTEERS!
This is your U3A, and it cannot function unless members are prepared to give a little help. At the moment we urgently need two volunteers:
More refreshment volunteers are always welcome, as extras in case of absence, and so that no-one is on duty more than once or twice a year. It’s an excellent way of meeting people, and entrance is free when you are helping in the kitchen!

Stirrings in the Forest
The spirit of Thomas Cook is alive and well within the U3A thanks to the efforts of Ann Mason.
Superb organisation, excellent travel arrangements and an entertaining destination were the hallmarks of the outing to the ‘New Forest Players’ Variety Show at Bashley.
23 hardy souls set off in a brand new coach with a shopping/coffee/lunch break at Burley as the first stop. One shop at Burley named the ‘Witches Coven’ attracted some totally uncalled for comment from one elderly traveller and I feel suitably ashamed of myself.
The show was non-stop fun and all agreed that it had been well worth the journey.
We arrived back at Weymouth not having mis-placed or lost anybody which is in itself a tribute to Ann’s efforts.
From all of us a big thank you to Ann and for those who missed the trip then make a booking for the next outing which will also be good value for money.
