Liverpool u3a are running a quiz and are looking for attendees.  Are you interested?

I am, David Coss, the chairman of the Liverpool U3A.

I am writing to you regarding the Network Fun Quiz which we are holding in the Adelphi Hotel on Wednesday, 24^th May at 1:30pm. We are charging only £4 admission and this covers the tea and coffee refreshments, the prize money for the winning table and the hire of the room.

It is going to be run along the lines of our previous Network Quizzes which were held before Covid struck. They proved to be very enjoyable afternoons and gave all the members of the neighbouring U3As the chance to meet, chat and get to know what great ideas might be knocking about which one U3A is using to their benefit, while others haven’t even known about – a benefit to all U3As and, in the end, to the organisation as a whole.

Will you please pass this information on to your members and ask, those of them who are interested in attending the quiz, to either phone Marion Carson on 0151 427 0175 or email her at marioncarson2010@hotmail.co.uk by the 10^th May, as she has to give the hotel a fortnights notice so they can ensure that everyone present will be comfortably seated and, of course, there will be enough refreshments to go round.

Thanking you in advance – David.
