Social Committee

An open invitation to Zoom talk entitled ‘What we owe to Einstein’ on Friday 19th February at 10.00 am

Guest Speaker, Professor Turner, FRS, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry, University of Nottingham, was a founder member of Beeston u3a, the first Group Co-ordinator and Science Group leader for many years.

The talk lasts 45 minutes and is designed for a ‘lay’ audience. There are two elementary pieces of science and quite a bit of history.

A link to join this talk will be sent out to all members on Wednesday, 17th February, 2021. All are welcome.

This year we were ‘Dreaming of a Zoom Christmas’

Unable to hold our annual Christmas social event we had a ‘Christmas Spectacular’ via Zoom on the 9th December.

The programme featured a festive quiz, host Terry Hill with his Bumper Book of (old) Jokes , Christmas themed poems, a recording of our last year’s 10 minute pantomime ‘Cinderella’ and a finale of two songs live from the living room of The Rockin Rev Duo, the Rev Ian and Ann Murray.

It was wonderful to see and hear a live performance – thanks Ian and Ann.Many members were in full Christmas livery and enjoyed each other’s virtual company accompanied by a drink and party snack.

We also had a Christmas film via Zoom, an enjoyable Dad’s Army feature followed by ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ on the 17th December.

Hopefully and optimistically our next year’s events will be real meetings in person.
