President's message 

​Well, they say no news is good news, but not in our case at U3A.  Council have no plans in the foreseeable future to reopen the building.

With the changes still happening daily, we can only continue as we have been for the last 3 months.

At a recent Zoom Committee Meeting we decided to get together for lunch in the gardens next to the Art Gallery on Wednesday 22 July at 12 noon. BYO lunch, tea/coffee, chair etc. 

This will depend on numbers that can gather, and of course the WEATHER. 
​
Stay safe and sound and we will all survive.

Dorothy Webber,
President
