Programme
Meetings are currently being at the Cherith Centre, Blundell's Road, Tiverton, EX16 4BZ third Wednesday of the month at 1.45 for 2.00pm.
At our most recent committee meeting we were pleased to note that the number of "hits" to the Exe Valley u3a website is increasing month on month. This is a most encouraging trend which we hope will continue as it is a great way of providing and sharing information as well
as alerting potential new members of all the varied and interesting activities they would enjoy if they were to join us.
Whilst thinking about our members "online", we wondered how many of you may have gone on and taken the opportunity to have a look at the National u3a website? Is this something you do regularly, occasionally or perhaps not at all? There is a wealth of information on the national site about what is happening at other u3as elsewhere across the country as well as help and guidance for Group Leaders plus ideas and opportunities for individual training and other activities that you might care to pursue.
If you haven't done so before, may I encourage you to spend a moment or two and have a look at the national website. Your committee is interested to know what you think either about it or indeed of any thoughts and ideas you may have to help improve and grow our own local u3a.
An email was sent recently asking you for your opinions on a number of questions including what other social activities, eg coach trips, treasure hunt, quizzes etc that you might wish to support. Rather disappointingly there have been only a handful of responses so far so we are asking you to spend a few minutes of your time to have a look at the survey questionnaire and let us have your thoughts please.
We are now holding a raffle at our monthly meetings which is proving very popular.
Your ideas for other fund-raising schemes would be most welcome.
We recently held a very well run and attended quiz evening at Calverleigh Village Hall. Many thanks to our Quiz Master had his extremely able score keeper.
Our first coffee morning seems to have been a success.
Up coming events will include a trip to the seaside at Lyme Regis and to the museum for a talk on fossil combing.

| Thu Oct 17th | Our Speaker for October is Miranda Pender Miranda took up playing the guitar and writing songs rather late in life but has more than made up for it since. Raunchy, romantic, heartwarming, humorous, this musical talk will include whichever songs she feels like playing on the day - and may well feature a brand new song having its first outing. Think Pam Ayres meets Victoria Wood. |
