I sent to members yesterday by email there balance to be paid to Airedale Tours

These balances were assessed based on the invoice that I received dated 16th July from Airedale Tours

The invoice included the following (Total booked – 25 and (b) Basic cost per passenger £729

I was advised yesterday after I had emailed balances to members that this invoice contained errors and I was contacted this morning by Airedale and I advised that it was Airedales problem and they should sort this out direct with members , you will be receiving a call from Airedale to discuss the situation

Please call me if you have any concerns

Important News

Two of our members have today reported that a fraudulent transaction has been made on their credit cards.  The transaction for £69.99  is listed as being a payment to ‘Super Cards’ in both cases.

The two ladies do not bank with the same institution but suggest that members check their credit card statements in case a similar fraud had been committed on their account.

 

Possible New Group

One of our current Group Leaders has come up with a great idea for a brand new group.   During a new members’ meeting several members asked why we did not have many evening events. The answer is simple – we can’t always find venues with time slots that would suit us.

But Sue Quinn has come up with a great idea!  She is proposing to set up a Supper Club where those interested can suggest or pick a venue where they can enjoy good food, good wine and good company.

If this appeals to you let Sue know by; either putting your name down on the list on the u3a notice board or by clicking the leave a reply notice at the bottom of this notice.

During the first week of August, Maghull Baptist Church are running a week long activities group for children.

This will mean that we will have no access to the church during that period.  There will be no Coffee morning on the 6th of August and the Table Tennis group will not be able to meet during that week.

All will be back to normal the following week.
