Thank you to all members who have sponsored Maria Mullin to run in the London Marathon in April to raise money for Dementia Revolution.

So far you have raised £713 to help fight this dreadful disease.

She will be running in memory of her grandad George who was a member of our U3A for many years before he died.

If you would still like to help you can donate online here. For offline donations please see Wanda & Brian Leach at Tuesday coffee mornings.

LATITUDE & LONGITUDE 

We will be going round in circles exploring the history, the problems, the inventions and the solutions that we now take for granted when we travel far afield.

Last month we had a hilarious time looking at maths in the house and dealing with wallpaper, tiles, curtains, carpets and kitchen units.

We always have a good laugh so why not join us? Calculators welcome.

Kensington House, 2.30-4.30  Entrance £1        More info from Wanda Leach 284 8454 or

FUNDRAISING UPDATE

Members of our U3A have now generously donated £616 to sponsor Maria Mullin, who will be running in the London Marathon in April to raise funds for Dementia Revolution, a joint campaign between Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research to fund new medical research. This is the main charity of the London Marathon this year.

She will be running in memory of her grandad George Krzysztanowski who was an active member of our U3A for many years before he developed Alzheimers disease and died.

So far, members’ support for this very worthy cause has been fantastic, and Maria is now well on her way to reaching her pledged target of raising £2,000.

If you would like to support Dementia Revolution by sponsoring Maria, you can donate online here.

For offline donations, please see Wanda & Brian Leach at Tuesday coffee mornings.

Here is a scam I’ve not come across before  –

I had a message on my voice mail today that said

Hello, you called my phone earlier and I’m just wondering who you are. Please call me back.

I nearly did, until I remembered that I hadn’t made any outgoing calls today. I googled the number and, guess what, it was a listed scam.

Please be aware and be careful.

As of this morning members have donated £399 to sponsor Maria Mullin, who will be running in the London Marathon in April to raise funds for Dementia Revolution, a joint campaign between Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research to fund new medical research. This is the main charity of the London Marathon this year.

She will be running in memory of her grandad George Krzysztanowski who was an active member of our U3A for many years before he died.

If you would like to support Dementia Revolution by sponsoring Maria, you can donate online here.

Twelve of our group had a great time today with the maths of family games, honing our logic and spatial awareness skills ready for Christmas.

We tried Mobi, Blokus, Bedlam, Tantrix, and some old favourites like 3D noughts and crosses, Chinese Chequers and Connect 4. This is maths but not as you know it!

We will have a break in January and will meet again on Wednesday 6th February 2.30-4.30 at Kensington House. Why not come and join us?
