The last two months have been hectic with various competitions such as the Euros 2024, Wimbledon, the Summer Olympics, GCSE and A-level results, plus a General Election. Whether you find the excitement stimulating or prefer a period of calm to reflect on trying something new or continuing with what you already enjoy, there’s no competition to be the best at Lindsey u3a.
As part of an international organisation, u3a provides educational and social opportunities for retired and semi-retired people, typically aged 50 and over, although there are no age limits. It is non-political, non-religious, and no educational or sporting qualifications are required to be a member.
Lindsey u3a meets at Welton Village Hall, usually on the first Thursday of the month. You are invited, with no obligation, to attend one of the meetings. Doors open at 9.45am for tea / coffee, followed by a speaker at 10.30am. If you decide to go along for a look, let someone at reception know you are new, and one of the friendly greeters will show you around and answer any questions.
On 5th September, popular speaker Horace Liberty will make a return appearance, talking about John Betjeman and his connections to Lincolnshire. Philip Caine will join on 3rd October with an interesting, humorous and inspirational account of his career, From Barrow to Baghdad.
Lindsey u3a offers various interest groups run by members for members. Check out the website www.lindseyu3a.org.uk to see if anything appeals to you.
u3a members can also join various online talks, workshops, and courses. More information is available at www.u3a.org.uk.
If you can’t attend one of the general meetings, go along to 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 26th September. 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.
