WELCOME AND INFORMATION
We welcome new members, and 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.

SKITTLES
Celia Martin has taken over from Maurice Best as he has retired due to ill health. We thank him for all his hard work and wish him well in his retirement. The group still needs new members to keep going. Anyone interested in joining please contact Celia Martin on 01278 795341 BRIDGE, CHESS or EUCHRE Sally Beard ( 07432509695 ) is looking for anyone interested in any of these games, with a view to forming a group. SHAKESPEARE Rosalie Dilkes is looking for people to form this group. PORTUGUESE Potential group for learning another new language, see Brenda Dibley. GILBERT & SULLIVAN and MUSICAL THEATRE Des & Vivienne Jones are interested in setting up a group around Gilbert and Sullivan, and musical theatre in general, to suit various tastes. The idea is to enjoy music together, either singing or listening. Des is a pianist, and has a wide selection of music, and a portable keyboard. This would be just a once a month session, dates yet to be confirmed. Contact Des Jones on 01278-229387 if interested. SPANISH CONVERSATION
Meets every 1st and 3rd Thursday, from 2 to 4 pm at the Community Centre For further information contact Chris Noble U3A VILLAGE GROUP 2
U3A Village group 2 are a very friendly Group .They take turns to choose a village, and then visit it, to find about the key features such as the church and interesting houses. Over the last 6 years we have discovered villages and their history of which we knew nothing. For further information please ring Elizabeth Claydon on 01278 783320 FRENCH FOR BEGINNERS
Some places have just become available in this Group, which is intended for beginners, and if you haven’t studied French before, we are still near enough to the start for you to catch up what you have missed. The emphasis throughout is on reading, listening and speaking, with little or no written work, and a minimum of formal grammar. Meetings are every Wednesday afternoon 2.30 to 4.00pm except Day Trip days, with a gap in the summer when I am away practising my own conversational French! If you want to refresh the French you studied at earlier, perhaps at school, the class will be equally suitable, even if these early weeks might contain a lot of familiar things. For further information, give me a call (783928) or email: secretary@burnhamu3a.com Gary Locock CLASSICAL MUSIC In 2013 U3A launched its first Music Appreciation Group and there are now three such groups, all of them fully subscribed. Now Margaret Pickard has started Group 4 and invites interest from those who enjoy listening to serious music among like-minded enthusiasts. The music we listen to is mainly ‘Bach to Brahms’, but programmes occasionally contain much earlier music and even modern music. For further information please contact Margaret Pickard on 07564 444415 or mwpickard @ btinternet.com ASTRONOMY
