LAMBSHEAR LANE, LYDIATE.
u3a Family History group have invited Kate, a researcher from WDYTYA (who do you think you are) to give us an insight into the programmes in depth research methods. Whether you are doing Family History, or have seen the programme, you will enjoy Kate’s anecdotal talk.
£2 entry includes tea/coffee. Bring your own cup.
All are welcome
To all our u3a members
It was with great sadness that we heard of the death of our dear Queen, Elizabeth II. For most of us she has been the steadying influence that has guided us during our lifetime and she and her warm smile will be sorely missed.As a u3a we wish to convey our sincere condolences to the Royal Family at this very sad time.During the week leading up to Her Majesty’s Funeral many of our groups may feel that they wish to cancel any meetings they had planned. I believe that Group Leaders and their members should take this decision on an individual basis but that all u3a activities will be stopped on the 19th of September as a mark of respect.Accordingly this week’s u3a coffee morning will go ahead allowing members who would like to meet up, a chance to share their thoughts and recollections of the Queen’s long and happy reign.God Bless You Ma’amGod Save the King

This exquisite exhibition of jewellery will mesmerise visitors to Lady Lever Art Gallery this autumn as part of the gallery’s centenary year celebrations.
Pure Brilliance: The Boodles Story will showcase the jewellery brand’s 200 year story and show how Liverpool has helped shape the company’s growth, from a family jewellery business to purveyors of some of the most stunning jewels in the world.
See how the heritage of Liverpool’s vibrant and creative jewellery industry in the late 19th century created a market for good quality jewellery and metalwork, for which Boodles soon acquired a reputation.
We are doing self guided visit to this brilliant exhibition , no tours on offer.
Wednesday November 2nd call into u3a Tuesday to book.
We will probably meet at venue 12 noon for 1.30 pm
Nice cafe on site. contact Maureen or Jan
