Policies....A Reminder.
I have been pleased to see new members at our lectures over the last few months - this reminder
about policies is especially important for them but is relevant to even the most long-standing member.
On the Swanland u3a Website you will find Access, Disability and Safeguarding policies.
Their purpose is to ensure that all of our activities are accessible to everyone regardless of any disability and
that they also take place within a safe environment where abuse, bullying or discrimination is not tolerated.
New or old member, please take a few moments to read the policies. If you have any concerns,
please contact.

Building Our u3a through New Technology.
Next year, we will be launching several initiatives to recruit new members to our u3a. But I would like to draw
your attention to two that we can use immediately.
Firstly, there is 'Facebook.' We have a Facebook group to bring members together and to advertise our activities.
This can be used as a recruitment tool as it is easy to spread the word to other retired people you may know
about what is happening in our u3a. Many other organisations find it an invaluable tool in raising their profile -
that is our ambition.
If you are not on Facebook, it is easy to join - just follow the prompts or use a 'gmail' account to log in. If you are a
member all you have to do is search 'Groups' for our page.
Secondly, you will soon be seeing our new posters appearing in the village. As well as the contact email address
there is a QR code - it can only be described as a square filed with random shapes! If anyone wants to join using
their Smartphone all they have to do is point their camera at the square then they are connected to the 'Join'
page on our website.
If you think anyone is interested, please tell them that it is an option! Keith Taylor
Summer, Describe it!
Many members contributed to our 'Creations' project over Lockdown which is also in this section of our Website.
'Summer…' is our latest project. We are asking all members to please share their Summer experiences - how you coped with the heat this summer or a few words on your summer holiday, anything from a photo to enhance your activity; favourite poems or pose extracts or an account your summer holiday or summer activity. Or perhaps a summer recipe ? Or a recommendation for a good summer read?
Please forward to the Chair or Web Admin for display both on our Website and St Barnabas Noticeboards.
Newsletter Deadline.“Thank you all for your contributions and we look forward to receiving more for the future editions. |
Message from the Chair. YAHR
If you're ever feeling lonely
And you feel a little blue
Try sending out a flyer . . . . . .(Click image to see flyer - - --->)
And replies flood back to you.
Thank you for your patience. I am attempting a different way of forwarding the flyer as I understand people couldn't open the other one.
If this doesn't work I'll send out application forms for my job.
Keep smiling.
Any Questions email Pat Collard chair@yahru3a.uk

The u3a National Office has entered into an agreement with the Copyright Licensing Agency to allow any participating u3a to multi-photocopy and digitally copy books, journals, magazines and original print material for educational purposes. Swanland u3a has paid the annual fee of £60.00 to enable it to take advantage of the agreement. Please note that the photocopying of music is not covered.
Parking at St Barnabas.
Please park thoughtfully in the St Barnabas car park to maximize the number of cars that can get parked while leaving space where the bollard denotes a reservation for a guest speaker.
