Report on U3A Day at the National Holocaust Centre October 2016
On Wednesday 5th October 2016 seventy members of U3As in the area visited the National Holocaust Centre near Ollerton. This proved to be a moving, interesting and rewarding experience. On arrival, we walked through commemorative gardens (both peaceful and thought-provoking) as we approached the main buildings. After a fascinating introductory talk, where we were advised that the role of the museum was that of ‘Learning from the Holocaust’, we were given a guided tour of the museum; its haunting photographs, artefacts and reconstructions gave one the feeling of immediacy; and sadness for the enormity of what took place. Rosie Allen's full report under Events Reports.

National Workshop 2016 Phase 2 and Phase 3
Managing your U3A - April and May Planning ahead for more time to Learn Laugh and Live - June and July These workshops have been designed not just for for Committee members but for any U3A member who might be interested in joining a Committee. The workshops home in on the U3A ethos and on helping committees to manage their U3As more effectively. Prospective committee members would gain a useful insight into how committees work from either of the two workshops. The beauty of workshops like this is the opportunity they afford delegates to share experiences by networking with members of other U3As.
