Lindsey u3a meets at Welton Village Hall usually on the first Thursday of the month. You are invited with no obligation to a meeting. Doors open at 9.30am for tea / coffee followed by a speaker at 10.30am. On 3rd April Joy Wood will be talking about her ‘Journey from Nursing to Author’. She worked as a nurse for 40 years but has never looked back since she started writing. She credits her morning walks on Cleethorpes seafront for giving her the ideas for her novels.
The speaker on 15th May will be Deborah Yarwood from St Barnabas Hospice, well known for its work to support and comfort patients, family members and loved ones at the most difficult of times. Her talk, entitled ‘All you wanted to know about St Barnabas Hospice but were afraid to ask’, will reveal many aspects of the organisation which you may not have considered.
u3a members can also join various online talks, workshops and courses. You can find out more from www.u3a.org.uk.
If you can’t attend a general meeting, join u3a members at the ‘Gardeners’ Retreat’ tearoom at Scothern Nurseries for a cuppa and a chat at 10.15am on the fourth Thursday of the month. The next coffee morning will take place on 24th April. Whether you’re a newcomer wanting to know more about Lindsey u3a or if you’re already a member and just fancy a cuppa, maybe a scone and a chat, do go along. Everyone is welcome.
