The History Group always welcomes all U3A members especially new ones. Our indoor meeting place is Central Methodist Church on Baker Street: time 2pm – 4pm ish.
The meeting on February 22nd when the speaker was Bob Massey telling us about the postal service was all inclusive with music and film. Never did I think I would be transported back to when I watched ‘Postman Pat and His Black and White Cat’ with my eldest grandson.
The next meeting is March 15th at Central when Tony Waldron is coming to give a presentation about ‘The History of Stained Glass and how it is done’. I look forward to seeing you then.
Kathy and Sue will be at John Godber on March 15th to take your bookings for the visit to Bassetlaw Museum at Retford on April 19th where we will see the Pilgrims Gallery display. Leaving Hucknall Ogle Street at 11am – leave Retford at 4pm. Return to Hucknall 5pm ish. Cost is £10. There is no café at the museum but there is a Weatherspoons next door for food and drinks. I am told there are many other cafés in Retford as well.
