At the time of writing 15 bags of litter have been collected by the group in July. Unfortunately there is still plenty of litter out there so if anyone is troubled by the amount of litter in a particular area please let us know and we will do our best to get rid of it for you. However, sadly we can’t guarantee that it will stay litter free.
There is no limit to the number of people in the Hucknall u3a Litter Picking Group so if anyone else would like to join, or for further information, please contact me by telephone or by email at litter@hucknallu3a.org.uk
Tabards and basic equipment will be provided. You will be made very welcome.

Byron’s Rest – Mini Beer Festival – Thursday, 28th July, 2022
Regrettably the CAMRA Beer Festival at the John Godber Centre to be held at the end of July had to be cancelled, mainly due to the current hot weather and not being able to keep the casks of beer cooled.
Pleased to say that one of Hucknall’s micro pubs, The Byron’s Rest ,(voted CAMRA’s pub of the year 2022) came to the rescue and organised a Mini Beer Festival from 28th to 30th of July.
Eleven of our members rose to the occasion and spent Thursday evening sampling a selection of the twelve different beers available, all of which were announced as very acceptable.
We will be having a break in August and gathering in September to make a trip on the tram to visit some hostelries in Beeston
Our next monthly meeting is on Weds 10th August, look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible. Please ensure that you enter the building from the car park rear entrance and book in at the desk.
Please try to remember to wear your name badges so that folks (especially new members) know who you are, if a group leader or committee member, again pleased wear your ID so that others know who they are talking to. I would remind us all (myself included) to either turn off or silence our mobile phones, we had several ringing last month during our guest speakers talk, not nice.
I trust that we are all coping with the very hot weather, whether at home or on holiday, please remember to use plenty of sun block and drink a lot of fluid.
This month’s guest speaker is David Skillen, talking about ‘Gretton Girls and Devils Porridge’ sounds intriguing.
After our coffee break a couple of our group leaders will be telling us about their group’s activities.
If you are a new member, looking for activity groups to join, there is now a list on our website showing which groups have vacancies, or talk to Sue Tedstone our groups’ co-ordinator.
As always, thanks to Steve for preparing and editing our newsletter, we are very lucky, not many u3a’s have monthly newsletters. However, even Steve has to have a holiday, so we are looking for a volunteer to prepare October’s newsletter at the end of September. If you can help, please talk to either myself or Steve.
Melvyn Francis,
Chair
