Tavy District u3a is part of the wider family of u3a groups whose mantra is Learn Laugh and Live. There are no academic qualifications required to become a member.
u3a aims and objectives are to enhance the lives of people no longer working by providing a social network of those with similar interest. We do this through more than 50 Interest Groups providing educational, leisure and recreational activities for the benefit of members in Tavistock and the surrounding area. Groups are organised on a self help basis where we share knowledge and experience. Under normal circumstances we have good programme of social events and several active walking groups.
We are pleased to announce that we are planning to conduct our first hybrid (zoom and face-to-face) meeting of the Tavy District u3ain the Town Hall on Wednesday 3rd November at 2pm. Everyone should have had a chance to sign up to attend in the Town Hall and the meeting will open for all whether on Zoom or in person at 14:00. This presentation by Martin Swarbrick will be the first that we have delivered to both a live and remote audiences and is not without its technical challenges so please bear with us whilst we try to negotiate these. We are in a learning situation and will try to ensure that both elements of our audience get the best presentation possible. There are certain procedures that we have had to put in place for both audiences to ensure safety and enjoyment so please abide by these.
‘Normal’ group meetings CAN now resume but this will be very dependent on the Group Leaders. Those of you who are in existing groups will be contacted by the Group Leaders as to when/if they are resuming. For those of you who are new to our u3a or those that wish to join other groups, please monitor the website for further details.
The latest edition of the Newsletter is now also ‘live’ – many thanks as ever to John for putting it all together and to those of you who have contributed. The Events Committee are now beginning to plan and organise events for us all – so again, keep checking the website, your emails and Newsletter for details.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in the coming months, whether in groups or at our monthly meetings.
For and on behalf of the Committee of Tavy District u3a.
Robin Neave, Chair
