Committee Vacancy & Training Opportunity.

In May 2024 our current Secretary, Linda Simms, will come to the end of her term of office having held the role for six years.  This means we are now actively seeking someone who would like to take on this valuable role.

Linda still has five months in her role and would welcome any member who would like to shadow her during that time.  We are quite happy to split Linda’s role into two  distinct parts if it helps, so that can be shared by two members.

Firstly we will need a Minutes Secretary to take down the confidential minutes of our Committee Meetings and our Group Leaders’ Meetings.  There are ten Committee meeting a year and some three group Leader Meetings.  An ability to use shorthand is a great advantage here, but it should not preclude anyone from taking on the role.

Secondly we will need an Admin Secretary who will deal with the forms and the procedures of the u3a Trust.

If you think either of these positions would interest you please contact Linda or Jane on a Tuesday morning for more details or email us at enquiries@mandlu3a.org.uk

Lucky for someone? Cornwall trip March 22 / 25

Sad for someone, maybe lucky for someone else, as this trip was previously full.

We have four cancellations due to unexpected circumstances for this trip. We are now booked at a nearby Premier Inn,  Hayle Cornwall, a short drive from St Ives, at £30 00 extra pax., with b/b and a two course  evening meal deal..  As you may be aware the Premier Inn breakfasts are famously substantial, don’t think we will require a lunch.

Please confirm you want to attend this trip asap, to be sure of this price.
