covid-19 and the cu3a

Check the Home page for the latest advice

Introduction

covid-19 has been an unprecedented event that has affected everyone in the United Kingdom and around the world. Hopefully, in March 2021 we are finally seeing the path to getting back to normal. On this website, we try and keep as much information as possible including previous years Noticeboards, but due to the speed at which information was changing about covid-19, we had to remove and replace the information as it was released.

So rather than losing this information forever, we have created this page with links to the information as it was released.

The articles are in chronological order with the oldest at the bottom.

U3A Keeping In Touch

The central u3a created the Facebook Group U3A Keeping In Touch for u3a members to stay in contact with each other and also a place to share ideas u3as are using to maintain learning and interests and to keep in touch.

This is a great group to join as you can get ideas and ask questions to members of other u3a groups. Click the link to view the Facebook group

On the back of the successful Zoom AGM, we held our first Zoom Monthly Meeting. This was a talk from Ian Keable about the History of Cartoons. The turnout for the Zoom Monthly Meetings has slowly been growing and in January 2021 we hit our license limit of 100 participants. The committee agreed to pay for the additional license so we can now accept up to 500 participants. FYI: The license steps are 100, 500, 1000. The additional license is £48/month. We pay £141.56/year for the Zoom Meetings Pro license which allows us to have unlimited meetings. You can view the 2020 Monthly Meetings by clicking the link below:
