Southport u3a celebrated it’s 40TH ANNIVERSARY at the Monthly meeting on Thursday. We had specially made cup cakes for all to share and a beautiful Anniversary sponge cake which was cut by David Blanchflower, our u3a NW Trustee.
It certainly was a significant occasion for our u3a, enjoyed by all – and to top it all our Chair, Chris, announced that we have just passed the landmark of 2000 members.
Our u3a continues to grow from strength to strength with a steady stream of new Groups being started this year to fulfil the needs of members, and the establishment of a small group of co-ordinators who will mentor and help existing Group Leaders and new ones coming along, under the expert leadership of former Chair, Brenda Jones.
We are building a reputation as one of the u3a’s most enterprising and forward looking organisations in the country, working also with the broader Southport community on a range of projects, which helps the community, and the feedback we are getting from both existing and new members has been very positive.
Here’s to the next 40 years!!!
