Filey and District u3a held their 2021 AGM
Members approved the u3a's new Constitution which now allowed for where it is not possible to hold an AGM in person. Thus allowing us to hold a "remote" AGM similar to what was held in September 2020.
The Third Age Trust's recommended Constitution was adopted as the basis for our update.
