To all U3A Members in East London - Letter from the Chairman, Dave Donkin

The fact that you are a member of U3A mean that in terms of mental and physical energy you are "above average" ! Visit our website (u3ael.co.za) and read our newsletter.  You will see all the different activities that make U3A what it is.

But to keep up, of course we want you to share your experience, energy and enthusiasm with the rest of us.  So how can you  help?

Since the gap left by the death of dear Carol Keep, we urgently need someone to take the reins of the Film Course.  You don't have to be a "film Buff", but just someone who enjoys the cinema.  There is a wide range of DVDs to select from and films are only shown once a month.  So I appeal for one oy you energetic folk to step forward.

Our monthly general meetings are always enhanced by the interesting speakers we invite to share their experiences and skills.   We need a Committee member to organise and make contact with speakers.  For this position, it is desirable to have someone who has lived in East London for several years and who probably knows many of the capable and interesting people who occupy our city.  We already have speakers lined up until April 2026, so any volunteer will not be dropped in the deep end.

Tea/Coffee makers have an essential and welcoming role, both for members and visitors.. We already have two in this important role, but could do with another one or two. So if you can do nothing else, you can make tea or coffee.

So don't let U3A lapse!  We need you to be part of the team.
