| Oversights | This site collates all the groups of the U3As in a region. It enables you to see what groups are common to the U3As. For example there are 6 bird watching groups, so gives them the opportunity to contact each other when there may be a rare sighting in the area.
Chess, bridge and scrabble groups could challenge each other and form leagues.
If your group wanted to organise an outing and didn't have enough members to warrant it, then you could invite other U3As to join you. |
| Ted.com - Ideas worth spreading | TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.
A very interesting and entertaining site. |
