All Group Leaders should have received detailed lists of applicants and members should have received 'Yes/Waiting List/No' replies. It is now up to Group Leaders and members to liaise directly concerning starting dates, venues etc. The Newsletter can, of course, be used for this purpose.
Out of 39 Sarum courses offered, 28 are full or nearly so, and almost all are viable. Thanks to everyone for contributing to a smooth process.
Salisbury and Spire U3As are not yet ready to pass on their vacancies to us, but perhaps this will happen by the September Coffee Morning.

Go to topEntente Cordiale - Sarum Style
On Tuesday, 20th May, the Sarum Creative Writing Group entertained several members of the Sherborne Group. The afternoon was hosted by our leader, Ena Baldock, ably backed by her husband Tony. All members of the group contributed to the refreshments.
Two years ago several members of our group attended a Study Weekend at Meerhay Manor near Sherborne. Subsequently members of Sherborne U3A Creative Writing Group noticed a picture in "Options" and were sufficiently interested to contact Ena who invited a few of them to join us at one of our sessions. She also provided afternoon tea. The following year, in return, Sarum group was entertained with a buffet lunch.
The Sherborne group is much larger than ours and includes both men and women. They have the advantage of being able to meet in a local community Hall with attendant facilities. The format for the visits is that the host group suggests a topic and everyone writes and subsequently reads a piece of a specified length. At least, that is the theory but sometimes creativity runs away with the pen!
It is quite amazing how varied are the treatments arising from a simple topic. General conversation over tea on this occasion included discussion on the format and running of the two branches of U3A and was accompanied with a glass of wine provided by the husband of Mrs Enid Raisiah who had also chauffeured her from Sherborne.
We have to thank Ena for having the imagination and seizing the opportunity to establish this inter-group contact and for organizing such friendly gatherings. Our group feels that there is real benefit to be derived from comparing our standards against those of another group.
Have any other Sarum groups had an opportunity of widening their horizons in this way?
