Uckfield U3A
Newsletter - March 2024
Dear u3a Member
We hope by now that the worst of the winter weather is over and we can look forward to Spring when we should enjoy more outdoor activities. Keep an eye on the web site to find out what is going on April to September.
We have welcomed 80 new members since September and 16 new groups. I hope they have settled in to the new activities.
A coffee morning was held for group leaders at the end of January, please do support them as without them we would not have a U3A.
Debate
Our first debate on February 9th was a great success with around 100 members attending. The motion, 'Ours is the lucky generation', was carried by a large majority. Our thanks to everyone who organised it and to those who took part. We hope to hold another debate in due course and ideas for topics will be welcome.
Coffee mornings
Our monthly coffee mornings are in the Picture House Restaurant on the first Monday of each month from 10 - 11am. It's a chance to meet with members, welcome new ones and hear more about our U3a. Please note, that as the first Monday in April is Easter Monday, we'll meet on the second Monday, April the 8th.
Uckfield History Walks
These take place in the 6 months, April - September and are open to all members who can choose to join in any or all. The 6 Walks cover 6 areas of our town. This year we may schedule them on Sunday afternoons, but they could be on a week day if this proves more popular. Please email Beryl via the Vice-chair contact on our website to say your preferred day. Walks will then be listed on our website : please email Beryl the week before a walk to hear the meeting place.
Groups with spaces
One of our 60s music groups and one of the 70s music groups will be happy to welcome new members. If you are interested please email our Group Coordinator via the contact on our website.
Plastic milk tops
Thank you for the thousands of these you collect for the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital. Please continue to bring them to monthly meetings, but please don't leave them on Beryl’s door step as she is moving house soon!
I do hope you enjoy forthcoming activities. If you have any queries please contact a committee member.
