SUNDAY LUNCH CLUB

The next one will be Sunday 7th April 2024 - venue to be notified.  Anyone on their own that day are welcome to join us for a happy two hours of eating and conversing.  Contact Carol to book a place. Carol's contact details will be in next news letter.

Twentieth Anniversary

2024 is the twentieth anniversary of our u3a.

We shall celebrate this anniversary during our Groups Display on the morning of Tuesday 17th September in New Mills Town Hall.

Holding this celebration alongside our Groups Diaplay will also allow us to celebrate our groups which are the 'life blood' of our u3a. So we hope that as many groups as pssible will attend with a display.

There will be refreshments, and we shall also cut a celebration cake.

We welcome offers to provide small cakes or savoury snacks. If you are willing to help please inform any committee member, or add your details to the form on the Information Table at monthly meetings, or at coffee mornings.

We also hope that individual groups will do something special during the year to celebrate the anniversary. These events will hopefully be reported, possibly along with photographs, in the newsletter, on our website and at the Groups Display.

MONTHLY
RAMBLERS

In a positive way the membership of the Monthly Ramblers Group has grown significantly over the last year. However, we now have in excess of 20 members on the contact list and a very high uptake on walks. Unfortunately, I feel it is necessary to say say that the group is currently full.

Derek Brumhead

We are sad to report the death of Derek Brumhead on 21st February.

Derek was an early member of New Mills and District u3a. He served on the committee for several years and more than once. He was the Geology Group leader for many years imparting his extensive knowledge of geology to the group members. Derek willingly gave several talks at our monthly meetings about local history and about geology.
