What’s New Pussycat? Remembers Those Lyrics Sung by Tom (the Hips) Jones?
If you have been enjoying the sunshine this Summer you may have visited Thurmaston Fete and saw our stand on Summer Solstice in June. Last year was the first year we had a pitch there which was a learning curve but the experience was enjoyed by those who volunteered to help and visitor interest in our U3A was rewarding. This year presented a different learning curve with much fun had erecting our new executive type Gazebo. Good job we all relish a challenge when it was almost up and we realised in was inside out! Tee hee.
All of the Group signs had been renewed and proficiently updated by Angie Baker and they convey the diversity of our many group topics and promoted the ‘fun’ to be had within the Organisation. A very interesting display as you will see in the photograph below.
Thurmaston is a very friendly and interesting Fete to be a part of and a number of visitors took U3A information away with them enabling them to access our website (https://www.systonu3a.org.uk ), YouTube video ( Syston and District U3A) and free phone number (0300 102 1381). Hopefully some of these enquiries will become new members bringing their interests and skills into the organisation. My thanks to Big Chris, Jenny and a fellow Committee member Chris G who gave their time throughout the day to help me. Also Clive and Dave for their erecting skill. It is important that members are interactive within the organisation to offer help and support in any way possible. We are a Volunteer run not for profit charity welcoming any age group provided they are not working full time. Single or a couple come and join us to share in the activities, fun and continue to expand life. Let’s do something different!
Our next promotional outings are in August where we are at Rearsby village show and also Syston Fair. Come and say hello if you are in the locality. You can’t miss us wearing our new Polo Shirts which clearly state who we represent being printed on front with U3A logo and back with our motto ‘Learn, Laugh, Live’. So let’s DO IT !
