Annual General Meetings are, by their very nature, sometimes quite boring. Not so at the Norton and Radstock U3A AGM, which was held recently at the Somer Centre.
The hall was packed with members and not an empty chair in sight. The meeting kicked off with Nicky Halford receiving a cheque for over £3,500 in respect of the local charity, Time is Precious.
The remainder of the meeting passed as AGMs do with a number of reports, election of officers and various administrative items. These were dealt with as quickly as possible, so that members were able to get onto the serious business of socialising and tea tasting.
Next year will see Norton and Radstock U3A’s twentieth anniversary, with plenty of celebratory events being planned. The U3A hold two meetings per month in the Somer Centre – a speaker meeting on the second Monday and a coffee morning on the fourth Monday. With a total of some 36 groups covering topics as varied as Art, Drama, Rambling, Psychology, Spanish, Local History and Table Tennis, to name but a few, there is something for everyone. If you would like to know more about U3A, please telephone: 01761 479606 for further details.
Thank you to the group for such an amazing donation!
