Burnham on Sea u3a Facebook Group.
Group Name: Burnham on Sea u3a Welcome to our Facebook Group, to provide a new medium for those of us who are happy to use it to share information and keep in touch. It is a private group, open only to members of the Burnham u3a. On joining you will be asked to confirm you are a member of Burnham on Sea u3a as well as agreeing to very basic rules, such as being kind to each other. Please use the group to publicise the groups you run, or belong to, tell us about what you’ve been doing or advertise any future events. If you know about anything of interest to our members, for example something happening in our area, you are welcome to mention it. We expect members to avoid contentious issues, such as politics; there are other Facebook groups for that! Gail Norton If your publicity could be shown publically, please inform editor<a>burnhamu3a.com so it can be added here. There is a new National U3A Group, as well as the Keep in Touch one. This is called Fit for the Future And have you seen the u3a website, www.u3a.org.uk? It is worth having a look to see what other U3As are doing. You can also get advice if you run a group or are planning to start a new one. There is also information about Online Learning Events organised by the u3a. There is a section called National Programmes, where you can find out about competitions and projects. There is also a Maths Quiz every Thursday, which is quite challenging! There are even monthly podcasts to listen to. |

The group is now up and running, please click on the button above (Walking Group) to go to the page with all the details. All walks for the rest of 2024 are now listed there PLEASE CHECK DAY TRIPS PAGE FOR CHANGES
DAY TRIPS NOTICE We have realised that we now need to see membership cards each time a trip is booked regardless of whether we know the member or not. The Team enjoy organising these trips but there has been quite a bit of confusion and extra work for the team in trying to confirm whether someone is a member . A trip cannot now be booked unless the membership card is shown each time a trip is booked, there will be no exceptions. Also could I politely ask that members do not ring me evenings and weekends about trips unless it is urgent. Thank you. Gerry. HOLIDAYS GROUP
As many of our members know, Lynn and Richard Mathews have stepped down from the Holiday Group due to a period of ill health. All being well, the next holiday will still go ahead. This is a pre-Christmas Holly and Mistletoe break at Llandudno which will take place 5th - 9th November 2024. If there are any new members (or existing ones!!) who would like more information about this holiday, please do not hesitate to phone us, or leave a message, for a chat on 01278 786012. As a group, we enjoyed a brilliant holiday 2 years ago at this delightful hotel, the Tynedale, which is perfectly situated right on the seafront near to all amenities! We look forward to hearing from you.” Kind regards Lynn and Richard Mathews The Itinerary is on the Holiday Group page Lynn and Richard Mathews The Holidays Group |
