They’re selling like hot cakes (or should that be mince pies?!) …

But there’s still time to get your tickets for this year’s Christmas Celebration being held at the Community Centre on Monday 9 December 2-4pm.

Simply pop along to any open meetings being held this month or email vicechair.u3aptr@gmail.com (ordered tickets will be charged unless cancelled in good time).

Have Your Say

The current format of ‘Connect’ seems to have divided opinions!
One member wrote: “It is not very good. Can’t the Editor make the whole publication more interesting / attractive?”
While another commented: “Friendly, informative and brief. Ticks all my boxes.”
We’d love to hear from YOU, whether to publicise what’s happening in your group or simply share a view with other u3a members.
Please email u3aeditorconnect@gmail.com.

Unfortunately, we can’t include photographs in ‘Connect’ – but we can feature them on our website.

The next issue of ‘Connect’ will be emailed to you on Saturday 7 December, with a copy deadline for all contributions of Tuesday 3 December.
