Summer is almost over and autumn is approaching as we begin another membership year.
Our Spa meetings are scheduled for:
Monday 7th October Estate Planning
Monday 18th November AGM
Monday 9th December Christmas Concert

We are still looking for volunteers for various committee roles: Our constitution allows for 12 members and, as a larger than average u3a, there is plenty for every member to do. So if you feel you can help, please do, and full support will be given.

KEEP ON KURLING!
Our Kurling Group Leaders, Michael and Elaine Perry, together with their loyal and enthusiastic team members have fostered and mentored the art of Kurling at u3as in Scarborough, Barnsley, Driffield and Sheffield.
These newcomers to this growing and popular sport, played to Great Britain Kurling Association rules, are now joining with our u3a to form a Northern League. Its Inaugural Event will take place in Barnsley on October 13th when the five u3a’s will be competing for the Northern League Cup.
Well done, everyone!
