WTu3a Newsletter – June 2024
Our newsletter for June has now been published. Read all the news here.
The next general meeting is on Thursday 27th June, with a talk entitled “The Sea Route to India” by Fran Sandham. This is the story of how the 15th century Portuguese explorers braved everything in order to discover a sea route around Africa to reach the rich spice markets of the East.
This year the Summer Lunch is on Thursday 25th July (and we are hoping for better weather this year!). There will be no speaker that day, but instead, a fabulous lunch will be provided by Lynne Padgett and her team of helpers, along with afternoon entertainment with the Folk, Blues and Beyond Group and the Handbell Ringers. This is a members only event and a ticket is required. Details on the flyer.
The fee is £5 per person and tickets will be on sale at the June meeting. If you are not able to attend the meetings to buy your ticket, you can pay by bank transfer (Bank: NatWest, Sort code: 60-01-31, Account number: 50853236 – Ref: Lunch) or by cheque, please contact Sarah Gunn at summerlunch@wtu3a.org.uk for details.
Incident at last month’s meeting – Unfortunately, at some time during last month’s meeting, a member’s car was inadvertently hit by another member’s opening car door, causing some significant damage. I am naturally sorry that this happened.
The lines delineating parking spaces in the Rugby Club car park are not very clear (and in areas do not exist). I would remind all members of this and that you park at the Club at your own risk. In addition, neither Aylesbury Rugby Club nor Weston Turville u3a takes any responsibility for your car while it is parked there.
Please take particular care when first parking and particularly when leaving after a meeting.
