BANK ACCOUNT
As you’re hopefully aware, we now bank with Lloyds. At the moment Lloyds have said that their branch in Burgess Hill will accept cheques made out to either “Burgess Hill University of the Third Age” or “Burgess Hill U3A”.
We are waiting for formal agreement from The Charities Commission to our “official” name becoming Burgess Hill U3A.Once this happens we will let you know.
Thanks for your patience.

Improving Links with Neighbouring u3as
Some of us met recently with Haywards Heath and Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint and Ditchling (HHD) u3as, in the first of regular get togethers to discuss how we can co-operate and improve things for our members. We exchanged several ideas. Among these were: how we can make it easier for members of one organisation to access groups in another, helping groups gain new members and best ways to promote u3a as a threesome. We are starting to exchange information and improve communication and you will see more publicity about HH and HHD activities[]]. Some groups will be able to benefit from having new members from the other u3as. We will also organise occasional joint events.
Some of you may remember the three way quizzes held pre covid. We have revived the event and will be hosting the Inter u3a quiz on 12 April. It’s high time Burgess Hill won!
Once the BH board have had the chance to fully discuss some of the issues, we’ll let you all know of specific changes. Watch out for further information in Third Thursday/Facebook etc!
