Happy Christmas

Hi and Happy Christmas wishes to you all.

I hope its a good one and brings you much peace and happiness. Then as we move into 2020 I hope the year ahead is kind to you.

As I hope you know, I believe our members make U3A an amazing organisation in which we have fun whilst learning, playing and keeping fitter.  But more than that, our member to member support, which we see time and time again, is truly inspiring and genuinely gladdens my little heart.  I felt this support personally this year – thank you all sincerely. To all going through difficult times at the moment – I hope you know that lots of members  are thinking about you and wishing things could be better for you.

We restart with coffee morning  on Tuesday 7Th January and can look forward to another great year together. We look forward to seeing many of you then and throughout the year.

Thank you and Happy Christmas

Dot and all Committee

Ukulele group

Ukulele for Beginners.

After the preliminary meeting on Monday 4th November, it was agreed that the ukulele group would meet weekly at The Kensington House Social Club, Station Road, Maghull. The meeting will be from 13:00 to 15:00 pm. So far we are 14 strong, and that is about the right number for a beginners group, so unfortunately we are full for now. However if there are at least 10 more people who want to start ukulele, then a second beginners group could be formed. This would be on a Wednesday afternoon, venue to be finalized, at about the same time. Anyone who showed an interest previously  and didn’t make the opening meet at St Andrews Church hall, should contact the leader, Mike, in the next two weeks, to register further interest in a Wednesday group.

Contact Mike on 07786381961, or email mnewton9@yahoo.com
