Welcome to the New Year.

For Health and Safety reasons we had to cancel our January Monthly Meeting. We now start off with our new schedule of speakers and subjects for the monthly meeting which we hope you will find interesting.

I can report that the Stretch Balance Move proved popular and is more or less full for this the first season. Social Solo’s have met a couple of times and we have a good active group developing. If you are interested in either group, contact groups@tringu3a.org.uk for details.

This year we have a Canal Trip fully booked already, other suggestions advise a committee member, we will look at it’s feasibility.

Volunteers to keep Groups running are necessary if your current leader’s legacy and enthusiasm is not to be lost. Think of being a deputy to keep your Group Running.

Two new suggestions which will be promoted soon, SNOOKER and WWII HISTORY, if interested, speak to the group co-ordinator, e-mail above.

As a point of interest, although some members have not yet renewed their membership for 2026, we have gained 43 new members in the past year.

Spread the Word….. Join Tring u3a
