Chairman’s Note July 2010

 

June gave us a very stimulating programme indeed – two very good talks, two interesting Study Days, a most enjoyable visit to Caws Cenarth and a successful Charity Coffee Morning. Add in our Interest groups  and I’m sure you will agree that there was much to keep us happy, busy – and young! Our summer break is approaching but there will still be much to enjoy in July and indeed in August. Many of our Interest Groups will continue into July, our Singalong Group will be giving their Summer Concert with two performances on consecutive days and our Story-telling and Writing for Pleasure Groups will be offering us another of their evenings at the Prince. Terry Robbins will speak on The Brogdens and Porthcawl, in place of the advertised debate, we’ll have a visit to Bath with a cruise on the Kennet and Avon Canal and we are off to one of the Welsh Proms concerts at St David’s Hall. In August we’ll visit the National Eisteddfod and of course Stratford for a performance of A Winter’s Tale. Do make the most of these marvellous opportunities and join with me in thanking our fellow members who work so hard to provide them for us.            Rod Thomas (tel. 784283).

BOOKS FOR SALE - together with the Rest where U3a hold most of their meetings, Porthcawl Lions will be putting out a quantity of second hand books for sale. They will be in the lobby between the large Lounge and the Dining Room and maybe purchased by putting the appropriate sum in the adjacent honesty box, with proceeds to the Rest. Customers will obviously include all Rest Guests and Visitors, but we hope also to provide books of particular interest to U3A members, with categories to be notified in this newsletter. We propose to start in June with Literary Classics (alongside the permanent 'holiday reading'). Such schemes have done very well in some hospitals, raising needed funds and meeting patients' needs. We hope to do the same for The Rest and to extend the libraries of U3a students. During the summer we will introduce travel books and future book categories will include various hobbies,  the arts etc. There will also be a box for donated books if anyone has them to spare. Any queries, suggestions, book-requests to Andrew Collier,  phone 784939.
