News/Info
Our AGM is to be held on 14 May 2024, starting at 10am
Please remember to bring your cups to any meetings.
Message to all Group Facilitators: It would be appreciated if all group facilitators who run interest groups make a check that members attending their groups have current membership cards Green expiring March 2025. This is important because without paying membership the person is not insured should an accident occur. Your co-operation in doing this check will be most appreciated.
Members are reminded that their Waltham Abbey U3A membership card must be carried to all meetings and activities, and it would be appreciated if you put your ICE (In Case of Emergency) information on the reverse of your card. Our new membership cards have a space already printed on the reverse.
You are also reminded that when you take part in group activities it is at your own risk and that you are fit to take part in such activities. If you are a new member you will be required to complete this declaration.
Finally, there have been changes to the Data Protection Laws, and one of the things that will effect U3A's is taking photos. If you take photos you must have the person's permission and if you submit photos to be included in the Newsletter and website, the name of the person taking the photo will be included so the Newsletter Editor and Website operator will not be held responsible.
As numbers of members increase it is important that we offer members more activities and interest groups, either new ideas or a second group when numbers get too large. If you have any skills or interests you could share with other members, please speak to Pauline Woods our group co-ordinator. Remember no ideas are bad ideas as someone else may be interested and a new group could be formed.

REMEMBER, REMEMBER, Waltham Abbey U3A has an environmentally friendly ethos. Waltham Abbey Council have a no plastic policy. Members are reminded that it would be appreciated if you could bring your own cup, or mug, for your refreshments at all future monthly meetings. Your co-operation will be appreciated.
