Welcome to New Members
Welcome to Vivien Bass, Lesley Denbury, Davina Gordon, Bruce Holland, Brian and Linda Minnican.
I am still waiting for renewal subscriptions from 12 members.
I am anxious to see as many people as possible wearing their Membership Cards. It seems to me that it does aid togetherness and certainly helps me to recognise the faces that belong to the names! I will have more card holders available at coffee mornings if you haven’t been given one yet.

Loucie Smithson would be delighted to receive any paperbacks that you could donate. You do not have to bring a book in order to take a book.
Computing for Seniors
Good news – we have obtained a grant from Salisbury City Council for most of the cost of buying a laptop computer and digital projector with the associated software. This means that we can go ahead with our plans for basic computer training and a help desk for Sarum U3A members.
More news later when we have the system set up and running, hopefully by the time of the AGM in March.
