Mayors Picnic report
Industrial Heritage group
If you thought it had all gone a bit quiet for our group, after having to cancel the planned trips in June and July, you're quite right. Covid-19 isn't over yet -- as some of us can vouch for -- as well as continuing to take care, due to vulnerable family members. However, while the sun is shining and the UV levels are doing their antimicrobial best, there's plenty to consider for Industrial Heritage interest. Railways, historic ships, outdoor museums, etc. What about August? (Lammas/Lughnasagreetings to everyone, by the way.)Back in the day, most of the group were away on holiday, or on grandparent duty, or both, so we didn't expect to meet up. But September is a good time to start things again -- and Heritage Open Days are looking good. Geoff Wride has been looking into a trip to the Diving Museum in Gosport, highly recommended, he reckons -dates being considered, minibus possible. Even if that's not to your taste, Gosport has a lot to offer, as usual -- including a tour of Clarence Yard. You may remember we had a private guided tour, a few years ago. Closer to home? Check out Romsey, Winchester & Southampton for a start. As ever, ideas and suggestions are welcome, as are your photos or trip reports of places of interest. Take care of yourselves, get some fresh air, and see you one of these days,

Romsey Mayors Picnic 3rd July 2022
The u3a attended the event in the Memorial Park and erected our stand. We had a lot of interest, not just from u3a members but also other people interested to find out more about the u3a organisation. Thank you to everyone who came along on the day to support us.
