Note: the GC of this group Rodney Grew wishes to step down as soon as possible, and hand over the group to some other volunteers to continue. Ideally this should consist of several people, with someone taking care of each aspect such as the tech side (Simple Membership and email) and others organising the programme with the help of others in the group. If you can assist with this please contact the Group Liaison Officer as above to discuss further . Should nobody step forward soon, then the group may have to close.
Our programme for this year covers a wide range of Local and Social History subjects, several of which are talks and presentations by members of our group.
Our "advertised" speaker for March - the Lord Lieutenant is attending a funeral,
but indicated she is (official engagements permitting) able to attend our
October meeting. Our October speaker - our member Ed Conroy - was able
to swap and so our subject will be "The Charge of the Light Brigade" which took place 170 years ago...

We are a friendly group and new members are welcome. Members of other U3A groups are also welcome to join us for any talks of interest to them.
We meet at Maids Moreton Village Hall on the third Thursday of each month at 10:00 am - 12:00 noon (Except August.)
Our meeting fee is currently £2 which includes tea or coffee and biscuits. This will shortly go up to £3.00 due to increase in hire costs.
