Important Announcement 

Due to the Covid-19 situation the U3AC have today made the decision to end the Spring term early.

There will be no U3AC classes or activities, either in Bridge Street, external venues, members' homes or even in the open air after this date.

Our live session from Dan Forshaw this coming Monday, has therefore had to be cancelled.

Dan does have a gig at Hot Numbers (Gwydir Street) on Friday night at 7:30pm, so if you can please try get along to that to overcome the disappointment of missing on Monday.

Hopefully normality will be restored and JOAMA by the Autumn term, and we can all meet up again on Monday 5th October.
