FROM SOMERSET COUNTY COUNCIL AND SOMERSET NHS
You may already have heard about Fit for my future. https://www.fitformyfuture.org.uk/ It’s a health and care programme which our two organisations are running jointly to understand how we can use our resources to best effect to help people across Somerset stay healthy and independent for longer. Other health providers are working with us too. Over the last few months, our staff have been working hard together to understand what’s working, what isn’t working, and why we need to change - looking specifically at five areas of health and care. At the same time, they’ve begun to think about what changes could be made in the future. These areas are: ● Planned care (usually non-emergency treatment) and cancer ● Long term health conditions (such as diabetes) and frailty ● Urgent and emergency care ● Mental health and learning disabilities ● Maternity and children’s services Now we want to share our thinking so far and hear your experiences and thoughts about what we might have missed, and what you think we should do. From mid October, we’ll be running a series of drop-in sessions across the county to listen to as many people as possible. You can easily book to meet us at one of our drop in events: The first (and nearest) is at • Berrow Village Hall, Burnham-on-Sea, Monday 15th October, 3pm - 6.30pm CONTACT GROUP
We are changing our name from “Contact” to “Welcome and Information” as, apart from welcoming new members, we also answer many questions, keep a list of tradespeople and help generally. Our main purpose is to “meet and greet” keeping a special eye out for newcomers. We give them guidance and advice on Groups, introduce them to Group Leaders, make sure they have a cuppa and introduce them to others at the tables. The success of this depends on the members making them welcome. Also please inform us when people are sick, bereaved or any special occasion enabling us to send a card if appropriate. I also circulate around the rooms making sure nobody is sitting alone. Our main aim being to support, friendship and companionship at our U3A. N.B. If you are a member and you feel you would like to join our Group you would be very welcome. Please contact me either at the coffee morning or telephone 792618.

The JEWELLERY GROUP has ceased, unfortunately I can no longer spare the time due to circumstances beyond my control. Thank you to all the ladies who have joined me over the past years, you have created some amazing pieces & I have enjoyed our time together. Elaine West FRENCH GROUP 1
At Monday's class four of us (Valerie, Tina, Averil and I) agreed that we would continue with the French Group. We will all buy "Le nouveau Taxi! 2" published by hachette. It comes with a DVD containing a program that runs on a Windows or Apple computer. It is designed to be used by people or groups who are learning without a teacher. We would do it on the same basis as one of the other groups. We would take turns preparing the lesson using the material in the book. Each lesson is one double page of the book and all the information you need is provided. Collette would come about once a month to help us stay on track. I have agreed to prepare the first lesson for Monday. We will meet at 10am on Mondays. We really hope you will join us. Although we all want to improve our French, as with Gary's classes, we are keen to have an enjoyable time in the group and not to make it a stressful experience. Don't worry about having the book for the first lesson. There will be at least two books between us and the material will be presented on a computer anyway. Bill Knocker SPANISH CONVERSATION
