Community Partners
We are pleased to be forging links with our community partners in the Ollerton, Edwinstowe and surrounding villages. This will provide further opportunities for our members to take part in local projects and workshops.
In December, u3a members were pleased to help Edwinstowe and Dukeries Lions when Santa Claus visited Ollerton Tesco.
Dukeries u3a members enjoy singing with the Dukeries Singers.
This year, on Sunday 7th May, the community celebrated our past and present history by starting with a commemoration held at RSPB Sherwood Forest of VE Day, followed by a celebration of the Coronation of King Charles III. This was a community focused event, providing the opportunity for the local community to get together with friends and family for a once in a lifetime historical celebration picnic. There was a full programme of music throughout the day, including the Nottinghamshire Band of the Royal Engineers alongside local groups and choirs. The event closed with a rousing Finale performance from the band with lots of flag waving. Dukeries u3a took part in the event to promote our great organisation.
On 10 June 23 our Jubilee Ukulele Group joined with the Dukeries Singers in a concert at Jubilee Hall. Please see the programme in the links to the right.
At the AGM held in May 23 our members voted to again support the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance as their chosen charity. We are so pleased to have raised £5107.36, smashing our target of £5000 by the end of 2023.
