Events
​
I think that perhaps the above heading should have been ‘non-Events’. I am so sorry that all our members have been unable to meet up socially this year. You may remember we had a full programme planned but had to cancel every meeting, due to the unprecedented pandemic.
The lockdown has affected the older members of the country a great deal. Although we are advanced in years, normally we are very active and sociable; we miss these aspects of our lives. Many of the Associations I belong to have closed down until at least January 2021 – U3A programmes such as my table tennis group have stopped altogether, although the Spanish class I attend is continuing (with varied success) on Zoom.
When this situation changes, as inevitably it will, we will reinstate our last programme of Events and meet up again. In the meantime, if you can, please consider supporting the local venues that our Group often uses, such as Grey Friars, and the Chinese Restaurant, The Bamboo House, and also continue telephoning, texting, emailing and writing to each other to keep up our friendships. (I don’t do Facebook, etc!)
