Summer 2024 Open Event Report

Our annual Open Event was held in Skipton Town Hall in the second week of August. Current and potentially new members could meet Group Leaders to hear more about the activities Group Leaders were offering for the coming u3a season, September to August.

A huge thank you to the 50 group leaders who showcased their fabulous range of activities. There was an excellent attendance at the Open Event and the feedback has been very positive.

Also, many thanks to the committee members and others who acted as guides and helped people join our flourishing u3a. Almost 50 new members joined us on the day and in fact over 140 have swelled our numbers since July 1st. A warm welcome to you all.

And, of course, many thanks to returning members as well, especially if you passed on the good news about our u3a and encouraged friends and neighbours to join us!

We are delighted that new activities like Art, Pottery Collective, Solo Latin Dance and Badminton have recruited well, as have ‘People and Places’ courses run by some of our most experienced Group Leaders..

If anyone wants to make any suggestions about our Open Event or the Programme, please feel free to contact any Committee member.
