CHAIRMAN'S COMMENT

We have had another successful year, our thirtieth, with two enjoyable social events and a series of excellent speakers - so a big thank you to Julia Whitburn who has booked speakers until the end of 2019 and has a full portfolio of good potential speakers. So anyone prepared to take over as speakers secretary would not find it intimidating or onerous and would free Julia to devote herself to working with groups – which she has been doing in tandem up to now. So another big thank you to Julia for running group affairs as well as finding speakers. And where would we be without the hugely important sociable cup of tea and biscuit after those monthly talks? So a big thank you to Rose and Steve Saunders for organising the tea rota every month. Our finances are healthy - more from our treasurer later - big thank you to Chris Sharratt.

GROUP SECRETARY

Calling all group leaders!
We are holding a meeting for group leaders on Thursday 23 May at 2:00 in the Littleton Millennium Hall. We would like to review the way that groups in Winchester U3A are operating and to discuss whether we can support the groups better in any way. We would really like as many of you as possible to attend to share your views and ideas. If you personally are unable to attend, please try to send a representative from your group. Please note that this is not a meeting for new members to see what groups are available; this will be held later in the year.
