We have managed to land a scoop! The following is a preview of our Secretary's report that is due to be published in our next newsletter. But those of you who look at this blog will already have seen it.

Secretary’s items for March 2007 newsletter

Equipment:

We have recently purchased a lapel microphone for use in any premises that already have a sound system, such as St. Paul’s Church Hall. It will be of benefit particularly to members with hearing aids and will be available to any group that needs it from Dave Tyler, 814351.

We now have quite a bit of kit available to groups including a screen, music centre, portable stereo CD system, 2 guillotines, GPS equipment, multi media projector, DVD/VCR Combi player, and the lapel mic. Names of the keepers of all of these are available from me or the Treasurer.

Committee changes: there have been quite a few lately.
That old stalwart Jack Donkin is Vice Chairman for the rest of this U3A year.
Our thanks to Diane Wetherell who has been sending welfare messages for the last 18 months. She has had to resign for personal reasons and Hilary Chesters will take over from her - 643412..
Graham Rain has been co-opted to the committee.


We are likely to lose Jo Godfrey soon. She has done sterling work with Public Relations (did you see the full page in the Mercury in January?) but is moving away from Weston. Thank you Jo - and is there anyone out there willing to take on the job?


Day Excursions: as you will see elsewhere in this newsletter, (when you get it! ) a small but dedicated group of members have got together to arrange some trips for us. Would anyone else like to arrange a day out later in the year that they think fellow members would enjoy? If so please contact me - details would need to go in the summer newsletter.


AGM notice - June 6th at St. Paul’s Church, Walliscote Road. (NB the church itself where there is an excellent sound system and seating for 300!)
