RIVIERA TRAVEL - Charity Donation
If you are booking a holiday with Riviera Travel, mention Brixworth & District u3a when booking directly with them and we will receive a charitable donation. You need to telephone them rather than booking online
NB This doesn't apply if you book through a travel agent or a third party booking site.
Click on Riviera Travel Charity Scheme for more information.
CAN YOU BE A GROUP LEADER OR GROUP FACILITATOR?
It’s really not an onerous job – especially if it is a small group which meets in members’ homes with no outside speakers to arrange or venues to book. Don’t forget, full support and guidance is given by the committee - many of whom are, or have been leaders of interest groups, so have plenty of experience to share.
So please have a think about volunteering – after all the u3a ethos is “by the members, for the members” – and it is not necessarily a solo role being a Group Leader – two or three members with a shared interest can set up a group, sharing responsibilities as appropriate.
