West Cornwall Neighbourhood Meeting:

About twice a year, representatives of the ten U3As in West Cornwall get together to discuss matters of common interest. On February 15th. Colin Tincknell, the South West Regional Trustee, came down and chaired the meeting. There were U3A delegates from Wadebridge, St. Austell, Newquay, Carrick and Lands End. 

Colin talked about the Third Age Trust. He said there were grants available if U3As grouped together for big public meetings. He wondered about a U3A tent in the Royal Cornwall Show. He hoped that we would do something to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the British U3A movement later in the year. One suggestion was that West Cornwall U3As should put on an Art Exhibition in the autumn. He also told us of plans to organise a national U3A choir festival in the Albert Hall next year. After Colin finished, we exchanged information about speakers and grants for sports equipment. It was an interesting and informative meeting. (Tony Herring)
