Next u3a Quiz
The next U3A quiz is arranged for Wednesday 13th November in St Mary’s Church Hall, Sandbach. Julie Clarke will devise the questions and operate the microphone on the night. The hall will open at 7pm and the questions will start at 7:30. Each team may have up to six members, who should a) bring their own drinks and snacks and b) bring the £1.50 entry fee per team member.
This is a popular event, and the hall allows only 24 teams so prompt action is required. The only way to participate is to send an email to kev1dea2@gmail.com. Please don’t just turn up on the night expecting the necessary materials to be prepared for your team.
The email should contain the name of your team and its captain. The organiser will respond to every entry received to confirm your place in the quiz. If you don’t receive a response within a week, you should resend your application because the organiser did not receive it.
Although we have many regular teams who return every year, we would love to welcome new members to this friendly fun event. Teams of up to 6 people should register their interest as soon as possible at the email address above. We look forward to seeing you there.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Please help us to help Children in Need by coming along and supporting your contemporary dance group on Monday 11th November at The Wesley Centre. We will be dancing as Third Age Contemporary between 12.30 and 1.30 pm
You can sit and watch or feel free to join in and have fun with us.
There will be a yellow Pudsey bucket waiting for your donations.
Hope to see you there,
Tricia and the Dancers
Bridge
Have you ever wanted to learn bridge?
Here is a link to a u3a website where you can follow a beginner’s bridge course or a bridge returner’s one. Either would help build your skills and confidence to join our local bridge group.

Clean Team Fund Raising Quiz
This quiz is really well supported by U3A members (the questions are pretty well aimed at that demographic). The Clean Team don’t receive any public funding other than for occasional specific projects, so rely on the quiz as the source for providing members with litter-picking gear, insurance cover etc.
