Dear Member,

Lots of us are now working to prepare for our u3a Open Day on Tuesday April 29th 2-4 in St Ives Corn Exchange. Many people do not realise the breadth of activities available to u3a members, and this is an opportunity for members and non-members alike to find out about all our activities - interest groups, outings, theatre trips, members' open meetings, on-line events etc. (and there will be free refreshments!).

If you are a member of an interest group I hope that you feel able to share in your group's preparations, and maybe come and share what you are learning and some of the fun you have. Some groups are displaying what they have created, others are performing, and many are finding ways to show visitors what they are about.

We always need more interest groups and there will be a place where we can talk about any ideas you have, or about any skills or passions you have that you would like to share. We have support available for members to set up and run groups of all types (including purely social groups). 

I am hoping that many of our 900+ members will be able to come and bring friends, so why not put it in your diary and think about who you might bring with you? Posters and flyers are available to help you publicise it.

If you feel able to help, we need more members to be part of the team welcoming visitors to the Open Day (hit reply if you can offer).

And, as something new, we are asking anyone who would like to bring a cake to share as part of our free refreshments, to just bring it along on the day.

If you want to talk I will be in Wetherspoons every first Thursday of the month  (Meet the Chair) [3.15 TODAY!]. Another place you can usually find me is at the Members' Open Meetings on the second Thursdays.
