The Travel Group are now taking bookings and payments for their 5 day trip, Historic Houses & Heritage of Shropshire going on 8 September. Please contact Jean Davies for information.

We are looking for members to join the committee, don’t be shy please come forward. Should you be interested in finding out more please speak with any committee member. Come along and sit in on a committee meeting so you can see what’s involved. It is really important that we get new members joining the committee so we have continuity into the future. At the next AGM in March, the following will be standing down: Judy our Treasurer having served 9 years, Ann our Vice Chair having served 5 years, fortunately for us she is willing to continue as Groups Co-ordinator, and Suzanne our Chair, having served 5 years. It will be difficult, if not impossible for WelHat U3A to continue should these posts not be filled.

We’re going to do our bit for the environment and try to reduce, if not stop our use of plastic cups for Wednesday morning refreshments. From January 2019 please bring your own mug for your drink and take it home with you afterwards. This may take some getting used to for those serving refreshments, so please be patient. The drink will be free of charge for those bringing their own mugs. Should you forget to bring your own mug, for a while plastic cups will be provided for drinks, however these drinks will still be 20p each. Everyone is being encouraged to reduce plastic usage and waste, so do please try to help make this a success!

For a few weeks we are trialling a book swap on Wednesday mornings to see whether members would use this. Marion Cleveland is overseeing this, please contact her for any information about how it works.
