u3a News and Events
u3a is seeking non-executive directors for the board of its trading company, TATTL, to help ensure that commercial activities are well run, financially sustainable and aligned with u3a’s charitable purpose.
u3a Week runs from 19th to 27th September on the theme of "Expanding Horizons". The idea is that members try something new. Suggestions of how to do so, and learning opportunities may be found on the TAT website.
The 43rd u3a AGM will be held on 14th October as a hybrid meeting. The physical meeting is to be held in Manchster. Details of how to attend either in person or online can be found here.
