Family History Open Day
The Family History Group held a successful open day last Friday. People who attended were helped to progress with their family tree by members of the group. Feedback received was very positive. Pam also gave a very informative talk on her family tree.
I am working on my family tree and I have been so grateful for the help I have received from members of the group, this is what the U3A is all about. The leaders are available at the coffee mornings on a Tuesday, so if you need some direction on how to start a family tree, why not have a word with them.
Happy Puzzlers
MATHS 4 FUN 
had a record turn out for our June meeting when sixteen of us laughed and chortled our way through logic puzzles, codewords, sudoku, kakuro and pig problems. Summer hols and more puzzles now beckon.
We will have a break in July and August and meet again on Wednesday 4th September.
By popular request, the answer to the problem on the right is 38
This went viral on facebook last year and is still going round.
Note: the clocks change, the bananas change and the shapes also change. Don’t forget BODMAS.

Ramblers in Malham
Thursday June 6th saw us in Malham. Road closures caused serious navigation issues and time constraints. The weather held though, with warm sun and light breezes. We managed to get to the pub just before a heavy shower but the sun soon returned for the drive home. Thanks to Dave for organising a great day out.
