Hello all, our new Outings group has had an excellent start and the first coach trip is over subscribed, with a waiting list.
What we need now is some people to help co-ordinate the trip from the boarding point onwards, making sure all are present and accounted for, assist at the destination, and with boarding for the return journey.
Without you it will be difficult to go ahead!
We have several areas where help is requested, one being the Speaker Secretary role, which allows our monthly Open Meetings to continue. Should nobody come forward then these meetings may have to be suspended temporarily.
A good administrator is necessary with organisational, communication, and IT skills to carry out the role. Note: bookings are already in place until June, and you won’t need to do too much to start with, apart from organising the current bookings.
If you are interested in knowing more about what’s involved, and would like to make a vital contribution to the running of our U3a, please ask for an informal discussion to explore whether this might be suitable for you. It could potentially be of interest to 2 people working together.
Another role that may be of interest is the Newsletter Editor who will be looking for a shadow in time for the next edition due out in the Autumn.
For more information contact here.
We now have a slot scheduled on the local Community Radio which is available every Tuesday from 12.00. You can tune in here.
Calling Audio Visual enthusiasts – our tech support Steve would like to find a few people to act as backup for Open Meetings. On some occasions he is not able to set up the audio and projector facilities, and would like to have a backup for those times. If you are interested, please contact Steve for further information.
See attached information regarding a concert to be held at the Radcliffe Centre, Buckingham, on Saturday 14th March 2026, which may be of local interest.
The next New Members meeting is scheduled for Monday 23rd March 2026 starting at 10.00 a.m. in the Buckingham Community Centre. All new members will be contacted with details and a request to confirm their attendance.
