Events
Monthly meetings for the whole of our members take place on the 3rd Wednesday of each month when we have speakers to entertain us on various subjects. We meet at the Grosvenor Museum for 11-00am after enjoying tea or coffee from 10-30am when the museum opens.
Unless you find negotiating steps very difficult would you please leave the seats on the back row at the museum for those who have limited mobility. The space next to the refreshment tables is a meeting and circulating area and for health and safety reasons should not be used as an additional seating area.
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
several groups and enjoy all of them, so I did not want to see Cestrian U3A fold or combine with another one. It was also proposed and unanimously agreed that the following committee be elected as officers for the coming year:
Vice Chair – Elaine Corry
Secretary – Bob Armitage
Treasurer – Pat Jones
Speakers Secretary – Kay Hall-Wilton
Membership Secretary – Jan Howard. It was agreed that Judy Rowbottom would understudy this role.
On behalf of all the members, I would like to thank Bob for all his work for our U3A. He spent time trying to attract new members and he led the committee meetings so well.
This month our speaker is Judy Popley, and her talk is ’On the Trail of Mr Brown – Genius or Vandal?’ I think this is about Capability Brown and his garden designs.
Next month, 15 May, Jim Holmes is talking to us about Landlocked Laos. This will be an extremely interesting meeting as Jim is such an expert on Asia and a superb photographer.

LUNCH ON WEDNESDAY
Last month we enjoyed our meal at The Victoria but were disappointed with the facilities and would be reluctant to go again until there has been some refurbishment. Today we are going to The Bear and Billet on the right near the bottom of Lower Bridge Street. Typical pub food with a decent choice around the £12 - £15 mark.
Please add your name to the pink sheet as you arrive if you would like to join us. Our table is booked at 12-30.
Bob Armitage
