All Group Leaders have been informed, however should you be aware of anyone who goes to a study group affected by this, please let them know about the change of venue.

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.
