We are all volunteers: Volunteers always required
Dunstable u3a is run for the members by the members and we need you to step forward and offer to help. Quite simply, Dunstable u3a can’t run without your input.
Don’t panic, though, it’s not an overwhelming task and you won’t be thrown in at the deep end. We believe firmly in teamwork and you will find a supportive team behind you. Neither do you have to commit to a huge amount of time and effort. We are all volunteers, after all.
We need people to come onto the committee, or to support the committee on specific projects. These include social events, public relations and marketing in general. There’s sure to be an area or project that will appeal to you.
We are a friendly, relaxed, supportive group and we guarantee that being part of the organisational side of our u3a will be a fun, yet worthwhile use of your time. Please join us!
Contact Bernie on on this link Chair or come and talk to us at a monthly meeting.

Digital Photography 1
Prior to the onset of the Covid-19 virus and subsequent lockdown, the Digital Photography 1 group would meet each month to view and appraise the photographs taken for that month's project, possibly view some videos relevant to future projects, and discuss various aspects of photography that may be of interest.
During lockdown, the group continued to function, but instead of our monthly meetings, we sent our photos to each of the group members who voted for the three pictures that most appealed to them, and the member with the most votes declared "Photographer of the Month".
Projects tackled during this period included "Bikes and motorbikes", "The colour red (or some other colour)", "Time", "Covid-19", "Water", "Things that grow (flowers, trees, plants, etc.)", "Local places", "Reflections" and "Personal Selections".
Projects selected for 2021 included "Cooking/Food/Utensils", "Gadgets", "Music", "Springtime", "Hats/People wearing them", "Unusual views of the usual", "Ugly", " A Colour", "Old/Heirlooms", "Weather", "Seasons", "Personal theme".
Happily, the group has now been able to resume monthly meetings and the projects planned for 2022 include "Macro", "Threes", "Mechanical items", "Male/female differences", "Angles", "Corrosion/Rust, etc", "Speed", "Flowers/fruit/veg", "Landscapes", "Rows", "Trees/timber/wooden items". There will also be a shoot organised, theme yet to be decided.
The photographs submitted can be viewed via this link. (Link to Photographs)
We currently have a couple of vacancies for new members. If you are interested, please see the details on the GROUPS page of the web site and contact the GLO.
