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

10 Ramblers completed a 10 mile circuit today starting and ending at Kelsall Village Hall in Cheshire. Once again we were lucky with the weather, and needed hats and sun tan lotion rather than overtrousers and waterproofs. From Kelsall we crossed over a busy trunk road and then headed through lovely fields and woodlands onto the Eddisbury way. There were a significant number of stiles on varying quality, and at one point we were walking through dense nettle filled undergrowth aided with the use of some strategic secateurs to make the way passable!
