Website changes – Since launching our NEW website in June, we focussed on keeping the site up to date. Now it’s time to continue developing and improving the site, starting with a revamped Home page ready for u3a week. There’s also a new colour scheme on the Events page and more pictures to bring the site to life.

Recently added pictures can be found on the following pages: ChessStretch  – Walking - Events. 18-Sep-24

LATEST – report of the Trustee Committee meeting on 06-Aug-24

Interior redecoration – volunteers from u3a recently completed the big job of repainting and tidying-up inside.

Pictured are the quartet of original volunteers. They were joined later by others – including Bob with a long-handled roller to reach the parts other rollers cannot reach.

As well as repainting, no small task, the tidy-up included big improvements to the the cupboard in Room 4. And the Council joined-in with new flooring

Surprise was expressed at the high standard of work by “a group of pensioners”. Clearly the wrong idea about u3a.

Big Clean-up – work has begun on the grounds and garden at Kingswinford Community Centre. A band of ten volunteers from u3a turned up one afternoon, and worked for one to two hours each – pictured below. Their efforts have already made a huge difference to the appearance of the Centre and work will continue in the coming weeks and months.
