Chairs Report It has been a privilege to be chair of Warsash u3a for the last 2 years and 8lthough I know I haven't always got it right, I hope that I have been mostly successful in my duties. Atthough I was reluctant at first. I have enjoyed my time. which has mostly run smoothly. thanks to the dedication and support of the committee, who have worked so hard together. respecting each other and contributing ideas to make a great team. We must rernember, th8t we are all volunteers. as committee members or group teaders and we do our best to make Warsash Lb38 run successfully. Warsash u3a has a reputation locally. of beingvery friendly. notjust to newcomers, but also to established members. This, is thanks to the mernbership. as well as everythingwe have to offer. and is the reason for our growth. Everyyear we loose some members. forvarious reasons, however, we have once again grown by 8pproximately 10%. We've come a longway from when Warsash u3a started 9 years ago. The number of groups and activities that we now provide, is about 40, and is of such a diverse range. but these couldn't happen withoutthe enthusiasm of our members, who run the groups and supportthem. We have too manygroups to mention individually, but there is somethingto interest everyone. Our groups range from Art. card & tile games. craft. books, walking and physical activities, Skywatching, gardening, languages. current aff8irs. music, theatre. photography. wine tasting & meals out, to mention but a few. However not all activities are home based. The travet group has had several mini breaks this year. which everyone enjoyed. havingfvn together. The bus group has explored the surrounding area with days out and visits to places of interest. A longer trip was to the Houses of Parliament, what an interesting day that was. There was a visit to the RNLI Headquarters at Poole. again a very interesting day out and the Family HistoryGroup went to the Hampshire Records Office.
One ofthe highlights ofthe year was the Burns Lunch. We had never done a large self catering event previously. but it was a huge success. I hope we can do similar events in the future. We have had a fantastic range of speakers this year. inctuding a talk by one of our own members. Our thanks go to Catherine and Jennyfor arranging these speakers each month. This is what the u3a is all about. sharing skills and knowtedge in a relaxed. fun and friendly environment. I have been on the committee in various roles. almost since l joined Warsash u3a in 2017.1 now lookforward to enjoying everythingwe have to offer without responsibilities. I wish the new committee everysuccess in the future. I'm sure Wars8sh u3a will continue to flourish undertheir leadership. It just remains for me to thank everyone. most sincerely, foryour support and encouragement, during my time as Chair of Warsash u3a. Bestwishes. Judith
