Committee Meeting Notes June 30th 2010

Chairman, Dr Tony Herring welcomed Mr John Dearman, who after this meeting, will take over the role of Treasurer.  The minutes of the last meeting were agreed upon and signed by our chairman.

The matters arising were read out, as was the correspondence and dealt with where appropriate.

 

There will be a sub-regional meeting of the U3A at Kingsley Village on Friday, November the 5th. Each U3A group has invitations for 3 representatives. Two of the committee said that they would like to attend.

 

A lady had written to suggest that Mylor has its own monthly meeting, like Perranwell, Truro and Falmouth. They could use the Tremayne Hall. The committee agreed that this would be a good idea and we would have to see if one of our members would like to organise it. U3A Carrick will pay the rent on the hall and help with speakers.

 

The committee talked about postage costs of the monthly newsletter. This is available online and also in large print. If this is what a member would like, they should contact Mike Tapp, our Membership secretary.

 

A booklet of the earlier walks has been produced and is available for the princely sum of £1 this is available at the monthly meetings.   The recent trip to Newquay airport had been such a success that the gentleman who showed us around, Graham Simpson has agreed to speak at one of the monthly meetings.

 

The Ballroom dancing Group may move  in September to the Tremayne Hall, Mylor.

There will be a trip to Tremough campus on July 22.

The U3A choir will sing at the October meeting in Truro.

Our Treasurer said that he would like to start a Mah-jong group, this would take place in Falmouth.

 

Our next committee meeting will be on Wednesday 25 August and Richard Lander school at 2p.m.
