Read how a U3A managed to recruit more than 100 new members during lockdown and get tips on how you can do the same. It was lovely to see so many members turn out for the very first U3A Day and the start of people getting back together. You can read about Liz’s vision for the U3A in this issue. And there’s a changing of the guard at U3A, as we now have a new Chair in Liz Thackray and say goodbye to Ian McCannah and other officers who have dedicated three years to serving the U3A as volunteers during a really difficult time. With the Paralympics still fresh in our minds, how inspiring to hear about our very own Paralympian, Ros Hardiman, and her many achievements.
