u3a Magazine feature

A request from Sharon Parsons, the very new editor of TAM (Third Age Matters) magazine:

‘We have an interview with Brenton West, the silversmith on The Repair Shop, and we’d love to talk to u3a members who have an interest in old silverware – either they collect it, have inherited it, or even had a go at repairing a piece themselves. I was wondering if anyone at Ealing u3a might fit the bill?
 
If so, it would be great to hear from them as soon as possible so that we might be able to include them as case studies in the feature.’
 
For more details, contact Sharon Parsons by email.

Call for new committee members

We shall shortly be sending out the formal notification of the AGM date of Thursday, 21 March and will be asking for nominations for the Management Committee. The full terms of reference of the Management Committee can be found in the Ealing u3a Constitution, but in summary the Committee oversees all the activities of Ealing U3A, liaises with the National Office of the U3A, and with the London Region of U3As. There are four officers (Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) and members who have responsibility for other specific areas, for example, the membership records, the technical team, the organisation of speakers, and co-ordination of the 60+ groups that we now have. There are six meetings a year and communication between the members is by email.
 
We have had almost all the same members of the committee for three years, and it is important to have new members with fresh ideas joining us. So, if you feel you would like to contribute to our U3A and would be interested in joining the committee, with or without a specific area of responsibility, and would like further information, please get in touch with the Secretary, Sylvia Stirling.
