Singing for Fun is now happening on Zoom

We meet at our usual time 1.15pm on the first Monday of the month.

It's not the same as singing together at Providence Church but so far those from the group who have joined in seem to be enjoying it. Our tutor leads us for 75 minutes and still makes it fun!

U3A Radio Podcasts

The first ever U3A radio officially launched at 2pm 29th September directly after the national AGM.

The national office learning team have been working with member volunteers who are skilled in broadcasting and you can keep listening to U3A radio wherever you are as it is delivered as a recorded podcast.

This pilot features a series of interviews and features from across the movement - for the launch - all themed around looking forward.

We are very excited about this project which we aim to grow and develop over the coming year. There will be another pilot before Christmas.

We hope you enjoy our first broadcast. Please tell your friends and colleagues to tune in! If you have an interesting story to tell - get in touch - you can email us at: communications@u3a.org.uk

Message from the Committee (March)

All meetings are cancelled forthwith - Committee meetings, General meetings, Coffee mornings and Groups

Message from the Chair: Keep safe, keep happy

PHOTOGRAPHY 2 - MEETINGS CANCELLED

In view of the coronavirus situation and having received emails from members, I think a number of people in a small room is not a good idea. We will have to see how things move for future meetings.

PRACTICAL ART - CANCELLED FOR THE PRESENT TIME

It will come as no surprise to find that all Practical Art classes have been cancelled for the present time. I will let you know when we can restart. For the moment I hope we all keep safe and healthy. It might be a good time to review those lapsed resolutions... a sketch a day keeps the doctor away!

BIRDS AND BOTANY - CANCELLATIONS
