Lindsey u3a invites you to one of their monthly meetings and offers the opportunity to join a wide variety of interest groups. You can explore the available interests on the Group Guide page of their website, www.lindseyu3a.org.uk.
The environmental group ‘Trojan Mice’, while recycling used water filters, old spectacles, blister packs, batteries, ink cartridges, and light bulbs, has started a collection of unused toiletries initiated by member Paul Lock. He delivers these items to the abdominal surgery ward at Lincoln County Hospital for distribution to patients in need. Unused and unopened items such as soap, deodorant, shower gel, shampoo, and lotions will be gratefully received at any of the monthly meetings.
Lindsey u3a meets at Welton Village Hall, usually on the first Thursday of the month. You are invited, with no obligation, to attend one of their meetings. Doors open at 9.45am for tea / coffee, followed by a speaker at 10.30am. If you decide to attend, just let someone at reception know you’re new, and a friendly greeter will show you around and answer any questions.
On 3rd October, Philip Caine will give an interesting, humorous, and inspirational account of his career, ‘From Barrow to Baghdad’, starting as a chef, then working on oil rigs in the North Sea, Algeria, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Russia, and finally with the American Coalition in Baghdad. Andy Blow will join on 7th November with his talk on ‘The Invention of the Tank in Lincoln’, which includes original film footage of their testing, as well as a glimpse into Lincoln’s social history and family life over the past hundred years.
u3a members can also join various online talks, workshops, and courses. Find out more from www.u3a.org.uk.
If you are unable to attend a general meeting, you can join them at the ‘Gardeners’ Retreat’ tearoom at Scothern Nurseries for a cuppa and a chat at 10.15am on the fourth Thursday of the month. The next coffee morning will be on 25th October. Whether you’re a newcomer wanting to learn more about Lindsey u3a, or already a member and simply fancy a cuppa and chat, you are most welcome to join.
