Hi all
I have just received an email, it’s a shame for us but Birmingham have decided to do some much needed upgrade to some of the Museum, therefore closing the whole place, except for one small area
This information was not available when I made enquiries last year.
I feel it’s not cost effective to go to see just the Cathedral, beautiful though it is.
Let me know if you are in agreement please before I cancel the coach etc.
I am proposing we rebook late summer, which is the expected reopening .
Another art event will be available soon.
I have been offered the following for the above date , (this cinema is a great example of an Art Deco building , both externally and internally)
Arrive 10.00am , a talk by Martin Fol (Cinema Manager) on the history of the cinema and his 25 years experience at the cinema , then tea and biscuits will be served at the commencement of a 40 minute documentary outlining the life of the cinema.This will be followed by a guided tour of the cinema (all areas) Then , after settling down in the cinema , the film “ONE LIFE” will be shown , the story of British Humanitarian Nicholas Winton who helped save hundreds of Central European children from Nazis on the eve of the second world war
Members are to make there own way to the cinema to arrive at 9.45am
Cost is £15 per member , see George and pay at AFF desk on Tuesday coffee mornings or text George on 07826 048379
Friday January 2024 Join Art with our Curator Amanda Draper, as she explores the work of Fanchon Fröhlich. Abstract Expressionist, Philosopher and Physicist, Fanchon creates her own quantum realms within her art, questioning the notions of observation, existence, and aesthetics. Anna will explore the work of Fröhlich’s contemporaries and their connections to the artists’ practice, in order to contextualise her abstract thinking.
11.am train to central then either bus / taxi or walk up to Victoria Gallery and Museum Ashton Street Liverpool L69 3DR, at back of Metropolitan Cathedral
arrival time 12.noon for lunch if required? tour. 1.30 pm
Hope you had a great, bug free break and are ready for a new season of technology and science topics. We resume next Wednesday with:
Jan 10th – The jolley girls with Phil
Jan 24th – Pain with Bob Morris
A twin room has become available for this holiday (9th – 14th June 2024)
Full details of this exciting six day break can be accessed by clicking here.
Murder Mystery Break Briefing
There will be a short pre-holiday meeting for all members who are booked on the Murder Mystery Break in Caernarfon (2nd – 4th Feb).
The meeting will take place on Tuesday 23rd of January in the Coffee Room at 11:15.
If you are unable to attend please ask a friend to pick up your holiday pack for you.
In May 2024 our current Secretary, Linda Simms, will come to the end of her term of office having held the role for six years. This means we are now actively seeking someone who would like to take on this valuable role.
Linda still has five months in her role and would welcome any member who would like to shadow her during that time. We are quite happy to split Linda’s role into two distinct parts if it helps, so that can be shared by two members.
Firstly we will need a Minutes Secretary to take down the confidential minutes of our Committee Meetings and our Group Leaders’ Meetings. There are ten Committee meeting a year and some three group Leader Meetings. An ability to use shorthand is a great advantage here, but it should not preclude anyone from taking on the role.
Secondly we will need an Admin Secretary who will deal with the forms and the procedures of the u3a Trust.
If you think either of these positions would interest you please contact Linda or Jane on a Tuesday morning for more details or email us at enquiries@mandlu3a.org.uk
Sad for someone, maybe lucky for someone else, as this trip was previously full.
We have four cancellations due to unexpected circumstances for this trip. We are now booked at a nearby Premier Inn, Hayle Cornwall, a short drive from St Ives, at £30 00 extra pax., with b/b and a two course evening meal deal.. As you may be aware the Premier Inn breakfasts are famously substantial, don’t think we will require a lunch.
Please confirm you want to attend this trip asap, to be sure of this price.
The cost is very reasonable for Cornwall . Itinerary stays the same,
