the list of all our groups
WE ARE MEETING AND MIXING.
All of our groups now meet online and face-to-face. To be in the know of what's happening do please contact the group leader directly and they will update you on what's happening and when. Several of our interest groups report on their meetings in the Melbourn & District U3A Newsletter.
TECH SUPPORT AT SPEAKER MEETINGS
We're fortunate to have people who can work a projector, audio system, zoom meetings and so on. They would appreciate you volunteering to do this every so on. Just ask and they'll show you what they do at a meeting and happily pass on their experience with technology. See the contacts page above and drop us a line.
PROJECTOR
The Melbourn U3A projector is available for loan for u3a activities - the projector is looked after by Nicole who is also the Membership Secretary and can be reached using this mail form - Membership secretary.
GROUPS WANTING MEMBERS and THOSE WHO WANT TO RUN A GROUP
Got a hobby that you'd like to share? You are welcome to offer to run a group or suggest an idea for a group. To register your interest or get help to make things happen please drop a line to Tony Garrick using this mail form - Group leaders coordinator
NATIONAL u3a RESOURCES FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO RUN A GROUP
Tucked away on the u3a national website are links and subject resources made by people like you. There’s a newsletter for art appreciation; a poster for philosophy and a way to contact a horticulturist, or indeed any expert for advice. There’s a DVD library with ballroom dance videos and advice on yoga. While there’s not as much as a hint for Scrabble here, others might look and find an idea. Start at the u3a national resources for all subjects
FIRST AIDERS
If you are a qualified first aider, do please signal that fact to the leader of any group you belong to, or to any member of the committee.
