Happy Days, Overnight Stays and Holidays
We are very fortunate in our U3A, we have members who put in a lot of work in organising trips for our pleasure and enjoyment, including overnight stays, holidays abroad and not forgetting Group Leaders who also organise trips for the benefit of their groups. (This isn’t a definitive list; it is just for information and reference). I don’t think we appreciate how much effort and sometimes the stress this involves.
