When you hear the acronym AGM one usually thinks of a stuffy event that nobody in their right mind would want to attend however West Wolds U3A have the solution. The first thirty minutes dealt with the business of the day where a new committee was selected by default there being ten places and ten nominees and the financial accounts were approved. This was all tinged with a certain sadness as Gail Dennis stood down from her role as chairman and left the committee. She will be a hard act to follow as she has not only steered the U3A for many years she has also been the engine room to make sure all events ran smoothly. To see the draft minutes click here…

Once the official business had been dealt with Mary Howes gave an explanation on setting up a Discovery Award to challenge ourselves to achieve our ambitions both intellectually and in terms of lifestyle.

We then different groups demonstrating what they get up to: Recorder Group; Line dancing and the Turkish Delight Dancers. There was also an opportunity to see displays from many of the groups that produce arts and crafts.

    The AGM was a true reflection of how unique and varied the U3A really is. For the uninitiated, it definitely is not a stuffy organisation and, as was confirmed on Thursday, it does not conform to the ‘norm’ or follow rules rigidly. The official business was dealt with aplomb so the rest of the time could be spent by the many enjoying and marvelling at the creativity of the few. Well done to all the entertainers and to those whose skills were very evident in the interesting displays around the room.

    I agree, an interesting AGM. Many thanks to Gail and her committee for another good year. And thanks too, to those who contributed to the high quality displays. However, the highlight for me was the wonderful entertainment, well done to you all.
