U3A – 9th October meeting – Greetings Card Sale

At our October meeting Susan Gibson will be hosting a greetings card sale in the coffee room.

Sadly, Haywood’s Printers and Stationers of Watnall Road is closing down. Jane Haywood, Church Warden for St Mary’s Church has kindly donated stock for the sale, with all proceeds going to the church.

The sale will include all types of greetings cards, gift bags, decorations and more. The stall will be cash only, so please bring along your spare change to stock up and support the Church!

Invitation from the Science Group

An opportunity for all members: A presentation about aspects of Dementia

Dementia is a syndrome of brain decline that affects memory, thinking, language, mood and behaviour.

Different types of dementia can affect people differently, and everyone will experience symptoms in their own way.

Many of us have experienced it to some degree through its effect on family and friends.

This is an open invitation to come along to  the Science group meeting on Friday 20th September from 10am to approx 11.15am in the main hall at JGC.

We are delighted to host a presentation from Dr Alison Cowley and Dr Collins about their current research and clinical work around aspects of Dementia.

Change of speaker for July

Unfortunately, the speaker booked for July has had to cancel, at short notice a new speaker has been found. Bert Flitcroft is a member of Madeley & District u3a in Staffordshire. Bert runs poetry/art/writing events and will share a few poems with us. He will tell us their origins and why they were written, with an emphasis on how they should be read for best effect. He does encourage the audience to take part.
