News in Brief
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Our hard-working Executive Committee is in need of help! Three of our members cannot
put themselves forward for re-election at the AGM in July - our Constitution states that
both Officers and non-Officers can only serve 3 years in a role before they have to stand
down, apart from the Treasurer who can serve 6 years.
Gloucester u3a CANNOT continue without a Chair so if no-one applies before the AGM
OUR u3a WILL CLOSE. We are therefore desperately seeking members to come forward
and volunteer to join the Committee. We are in need of a Chairman, a Groups Coordinator, and a Minutes Secretary. It is also very helpful to have at least one Vice/Chair.
You are welcome to join as a member of the Committee without a particular role.
Amongst our wonderful membership of over 500 people there must surely be members
who have the time, interest, and skills to help us with new ideas as well as being able to
support all our Groups etc.
Please feel free to contact any Committee member to discuss exactly what is
needed to keep our u3a moving forward. The sooner the better so that we can have a
smooth takeover in July. All the contact numbers are in the Newsletter and on the Website.

Website
You may have noticed that there are issues with the website, photos are missing and links to some sub-pages don't work. This is because of a national issue, which is slowly being corrected. If you have photos you would like me to use, please email them to me, making sure I know which group page you would like it to appear on.
Thanks, Keith
