2024 is going to be a year of big change for our u3a. We are going to need about 4 new people to join our Committee if we are going to continue..
I have been Chairman for 3 years which is the maximum term that I can serve under the rules set out in our Constitution.
Ian is no longer able to commit the time to undertake the role of Membership Secretary or Committee Member.
Sue, who has been our longest serving and most knowledgeable Committee member, is now unable to give time to our Committee.
And finally Jan has decided it is time to leave the Committee.
If you would be interested in joining the Committee please respond to this email. The Committee meets one Wednesday each month at St Johns from 10.30 to no later than 12,30.
