BASIC FRENCH CONVERSATION
It is with regret I must announce that this group will no longer continue due to illness of one our participants. If there are any of our u3a members who would be interested in being involved with an Advanced French conversation group, please let Diane know, because there is a good chance we could form such a group.
COACH HOLIDAY NEXT YEAR We will be selling the Yorkshire Coach Holiday in October.
LOCAL HISTORY The next meeting for Local History members is on Monday 22nd September, will be at Thameside Nature Discovery Park (known locally as Mucking), for a Thameside Talk and Walk by former Estate Manager, Jimmy Allan.
The walk, which follows the talk, will take approximately 40 minutes, but those who feel they cannot do the walk are very welcome to stay inside the centre and admire the view. The cost will be £5, to be paid on the day.
A reminder to those Local History members who wish to come to the Thameside Talk and Walk, to let Diane know by Monday 15th September.
