        • Covid 19 – Sandbach u3a Statement:

          Government restrictions on meetings and social distancing have been lifted since 19th July 2021. Our outdoor groups have been meeting for some months now, and indoor exercise classes for several weeks, but now that restrictions are lifted it is possible for the rest of our indoor groups to restart.

          Most indoor groups do not meet during the summer months anyway, so we are planning on restarting our usual indoor programme in September, as long as the government does not re-introduce restrictions. Until then we would encourage all our members to keep in touch with other members as much as possible, either by meeting face to face or using telephone, social media, videoconferencing (e.g. zoom or skype) or any other suitable means.
