Epidemics that changed our history forever. A quite detailed look at 4 previous ‘pandemics’ that caused huge changes in their day. Will the lessons ever be learned?
Just to let you know I spoke to Sefton Libraries today and for the duration of lock-down they have free access for their library members to Ancestry.co.uk which I thought might be of interest to some of your group members. People can also become a member of the library remotely by emailing " target="_blank" rel="noopener"> and there is also access to free daily newspapers and magazines as well which is great.
Really hope this information is helpful and if there is anything I can help with at all please don’t hesitate to ask,
Our U3A is currently trialing the Zoom ‘video conferencing’ application.
Zoom can be used on most electronic systems from mobile phones to tablets. For the best view the bigger the screen the better. Below you will find la link to ‘Help’ pages that describe the installation, testing and use of the software that will enable you to join in meetings.
You will need to ‘register’ with a User name or email address AND a Password !
Help is available from the Computer group members. Please note that different devices will display different ‘screen layouts’ so be very clear about what device you are using when asking for help.

Dear Law for Fun members (and non group members who may be interested).
In these troubled times many of us have holidays and such like booked which we cannot take because of COVID.
Those of you who attended my session on contract will recall that I covered frustrated contracts. These are prime examples of frustrated contracts ( ie they cannot be performed for reasons beyond the control of each party). In such circumstances, subject to the deduction of reasonable expenses and payments, (the consideration) should be refunded.
Further indemnity can be found in section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 ( if you paid by credit card; you should always pay by credit card).
What do you do if the deposit has been paid and the full payment is due?
