Joyous Christmas Concert

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Today was our last u3a meeting of the year and we enjoyed our Joyous Christmas Concert in style. A wonderful group of children from St George’s Catholic School gave us a medley of Christmas carols. They sang their hearts out and had us all toe tapping in time with their tunes.
We had a short play about being Christmas ready but somehow I think all the planning in the world still leaves us rushing for that forgotten thing!
We listened to Tony play his violin and joined in with carols as Chris, ably aided by Lynne, played the piano beautifully.

The proceeds from our programme sale and a retiring collection was received by Paula, one of the fund raising team at Woodlands Hospice.

Rev Ralph gave the blessing and tea/coffee/ mince pies awaited us in the hall.

Those who had helped with the concert then went on to Ladygreen to rest on our laurels as we tucked in to our festive meal.
A great start to our Christmas holiday!! Thank you to all who supported us this morning and throughout the year 🎄🎄🎄🍾🎉🎁

Flicks and Friends

Join us on the 21st of November at the Plaza Cinema in Crosby for  a showing of the spy thriller ‘The Courier’ starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Based on a true story of a businessman turned spy British businessman, Greville Wynne (BenedictCumberbatch) becomes entangled in one of the greatest international conflicts in history. Recruited by MI6 and a CIA operative, (Rachel Brosnahan), Wynne forms a covert partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze).

Both men risk everything in a compelling race against time to provide the intelligence needed to prevent nuclear confrontation and end the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Great New Group Opportunity

New Group –  Indoor Curling

No doubt you’ve all watched (if only a bit) the game of Curling at the Winter Olympics and been fascinated by the furious brushing of the ice by the team members as they try to ensure their stone gets closest to the ‘jack’.

Well, we can’t offer you an ice rink (so no brushing needed) but we can offer you a chance to play Indoor Curling at an u3a near you!! Continue reading
