Sarum U3A
Newsletter April 2005
Welcome to new members:
Phyl. Mullins our Membership Secretary has moved to;
3 Clarence Court
Greencroft Street
Salisbury SP1 1JL
Tel: 01722 322570
From the Chairman:
This week I invited several new
members to coffee at my home, as has
been the practice for a while in Sarum. Together with Jean
Lunnon, the Groups Organizer, it gave us a chance to meet them, for
them to meet us, and to find out more about how our U3A works. We
were able also to discuss their interests and how involved they have
become so far.
One suggestion made by them was to put full details of the time and
place of the monthly coffee mornings in the Newsletter regularly for
the benefit of new members.
The monthly meetings are always held on the third Wednesday of each
month at St. Francis Church Hall, which is behind the church on Castle
Road. Coffee is available from 10.am and the meeting starts at
10.30am. We have a very good programme of speakers, as shown in
the Newsletter, and so I do hope that as many of you as possible will
come along whenever you can. Should anyone want any further
information, my phone number is 322018. I hope to meet more of
you personally as time goes on.
Peter Tee.
This Wednesday 20th April, our speaker will be Mrs Ann Orr on,
"Protecting You, Your Family, Your Home and Your Assets"
An interesting and informative talk.
GROUPS and EDUCATION
Walkers Group
N.B.
A change of programme
The walk to be led by Aileen Manchee from The Pelican at Stapleford on
31 March will now take place on 28 April
Strollers Group
Thursday 28 April we shall meet at the Breamore House car park around
10.15am and walk up through the bluebell woods. The turning to Breamore
is a couple of miles past Downton.
NEW GROUPS PLANNING
The following have been suggested for new groups starting from
September 2005:
· History (other than local)
· History of Music
· Environmental Studies.
· Crochet
· Cake icing
· 3D Découpage
Would any member be prepared to co-ordinate one of these? The first
three could be “shared learning” using U3A study resources; the last
three require a leader with some experience of the skill involved.
Offers to co-ordinate the following new groups have been received:
· Town & Country Inns
· Spanish
· Looking after your Car
· Local Civil War History (replacing
‘Herbert’)
· Writers on Wessex (replacing ‘Hardy’)
· Knitting ‘Teddies for Tragedy’
Any other ideas? Phone Groups Organizer on 335909
