Online Learning Events from u3a National
A reminder that u3a members can join a wide range of online talks, workshops, and courses for free.
Some are presented by members, sharing their knowledge or skills with others across the movement. There are also a wide range of talks on offer from well-known speakers and organisations.
A very well organised system, with a reminder, is operated for the u3a nationally by Eventbrite. An events newsletter will be sent out monthly, via email, with a booking link to join the event of choice.
Follow the link below for details of how to sign up for an email reminder and enjoy a wide variety of events, most lasting no more than one hour.
There is a list of links on their page for past events newsletters and the current events.

u3a Workshops
If you are interested in different aspects of u3a, possibly with a view to volunteering in an area, check out the u3a workshops.
The Third Age Trust has developed workshops in partnership with u3a members to provide support, information and advice for all u3a members. The workshops are delivered online using Zoom by Trust volunteers who bring their experience as Trustees, u3a Chairs and Committee members. And they are free.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Current Group Meetings
For the most up to date information and to confirm details of any meetings you wish to attend, please check the latest details on the Members Portal - Calendar of meetings and events. Or contact your group leader.
Some of our meeting venues are imposing limits on the number of people we can have in their rooms. Where this is an issue group leaders are requesting that you book your place with them.
Help with Presentations
Are you thinking of doing a presentation to one of our u3a groups (face-to-face or Zoom) but feeling a little uncertain about how to go about it?
Don Walker is very happy to help anyone with a presentation. Please contact him by email Don Walker for help and advice.
Speakers for General Meetings
We need suitable external speakers for our monthly meetings next year who are not members of our u3a.
Are you aware of any speakers who could provide an interesting, enthralling talk that would be suitable for a monthly meeting? If you are aware of somebody, then please pass on their details to me together with the topic and type of talk that they can provide.
Contact the Secretary
