New WhatsApp Group - Coming Along on your Own?
We have a new WhatsApp group for members who may be attending u3a events on their own. While our u3a is very friendly, it can feel daunting when you’re new—this group helps people connect beforehand.
It can also be used for practical things like sharing taxis, and perhaps meeting up for a coffee. All events remain open to everyone.
To join:
Email Lets Go Group Leader or send your number by text/WhatsApp to 07506659720. By doing so, you consent to being added. Please note your phone number will be visible to others in the group.
Please note - for u3a use only (no adverts or mass messages).
If you’d like help using WhatsApp, just let me know – Jacky (Let’s Go Group Leader).
