Beautiful yorkshire dales

We will start our day heading for Grassington, one of the best loved villages in the Yorkshire Dales.  There is a good choice for coffee shops, lovely individual shops and it has frequently been used by film makers, most recently for the new Railway Children and it is Darraby in Channel 5’s All Creatures Great and Small. You will enjoy the quaintness and the lovely surrounding scenery, which by now should be in all its’ Autumnal glory.  Then we are off to Leyburn, home of Tennants Auctioneers, one of the largest family owned Auction Houses in Europe.  They hold regular auctions throughout the year, handling millions of pounds.  Here we will have a 2 course lunch followed by tea/coffee. Then we are going behind the scenes for a guided tour and talk, a short film etc.

When? Wed.26th October 2022.  Dep.8.15am  Ret.6pm. Payment in full, by cheque,  would be appreciated. Price:  £36  inc. 2 course lunch/tea/coffee and guided Tour.  Seats will be on sale at our table on Tuesday 13th September 2022.

Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

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’am 
 
God Save the King
