Dear Member,

Thanks for subscribing to my "Updates from the Chair" emails. If you want to comment on what I have written or anything happening in our u3a, feel free to click "Reply" as that should get through to me. If you want to talk I plan to be in Wetherspoons every first Thursday of the month 3.15-4.15 (Meet the Chair). 

Yesterday I joined nearly 200 other members in a u3a Zoom meeting about Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education.  It was fascinating! Did you know that as members of St Ives (Cambs) u3a, we can sign up for many free national learning events put on by members of other u3as?  Details are in the Friends newsletter (sign up at the foot of every page on the national u3a website) and on the Online Learning Events page (over 30 subjects there at the moment).

Locally there is a lot going on, I am particularly encouraged by two new groups starting up - the Men's group and Everyday Technology, although they are only small at the moment. See the website for more information.  

I am meeting soon with a few members to talk about the challenge of the next generation who are nearing the end of full-time employment, and how we might need to adapt.  We particularly want to attract and inspire people who want to contribute. If you would like to be involved in the conversation at this point please let me know.

Best wishes
Peter Cooper, Chair, St Ives (Cambs) u3a
