Isn't this photo of a small part of our beautiful state just stunning? I love it.

As I am writing this we have had some rain! I actually nearly had to look it up to find out what the wet stuff was and how to spell the word rain! So welcome, but it is now clear sky again......

I find myself worrying about all sorts of things! This week is no exception.

How to do everything I want to do for you all? Our lovely Vice President/Social Secretary, Ann, has found herself unable to continue in these roles. Ann has a lot happening in her "not U3A" life and she needs to devote her energies to those matters. It is a shame for us, we are the losers, but I do understand and I hope Ann will get support from her U3A friends. I want to thank her for the work she has already done in arranging the Government House tours and such, as well as the contributions she had made to Committee.

Others on the Committee will assist in continuing to ensure the tours continue. I will also rely on all of you to help with arranging things like our Christmas Lunch. I'll put out the call closer to the time.

I mentioned last week about the need to have your say about U3A and whether or not it meets your needs. The suggestion box is the place for this at present. Someone has been working on developing an actual survey. Once that has been fine tuned and approved by Committee we will distribute it by one means or another. Please think seriously about completing it and returning it.

I am still putting calls out for potential Presidents! I cannot believe that we have a membership of around 350 people and not one of them is willing and able to do the job. Not one?? Come on, who do you think you are fooling?

On our notice board is a poster regarding an upcoming Shared Space performance at Rosny College. I also emailed the information to those I have addresses for. Please think about supporting this venture.

Cheers all,  Jane
