Welcome to Petersfield u3a’s interim e-newsletter.
While this may look very different from previous issues of Connect, you’ll see it still contains everything you need to know about what’s happening over the next few weeks.
Like to find out more? Don’t forget our website - Petersfield.u3asite.uk - is just a click away.
In line with the results of the recent Connect survey, from September we will be publishing every two weeks (first and third Saturday of the month). Until the new format is ready you will receive this version with the Meetings list and other news.
