Message from our Chair - YOUR u3a NEEDS YOU!

I think you will agree that our trips committee do a wonderful job organising a good variety of really interesting trips which are always well attended.  Sadly, as is always the case, some members of the trips committee are coming to the end of their allotted time on the committee and will be having a well-earned rest.

Volunteers are still needed to take the place of those who are standing down, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be fewer of these wonderful trips in years to come.  Please contact any member of the Trips group at the monthly meeting to discuss what is required and
how it all works. Or alternatively, send a message via the website to register your interest.
