Chairman’s Annual Report 2019
Cheshunt U3A, now in our ninth year, continues to be a vibrant organisation to
which so many members voluntarily give their time organising activities,
arranging meetings, and dealing with all the administration requirements to
make it run smoothly. Our membership numbers have remained at about the
same level as last year and at the end of October were 813.
New groups that have started up during this last year include, Card Making,
British Sign Language and Walking Netball. Also, due to demand, second
groups opened including Reading for Pleasure 2, Saturday Lunch 2 and another
Badminton and Table Tennis group. It is thanks to those members who take up
the mantle of Group Leader along with those who continue to run long standing
groups that we have increased interest in our activities. We hope in the coming
year that even more will be added. Along with these interests we have a Group
Sharing Agreement with several other local U3As that gives members the
opportunity to enjoy activities not usually available to them.
Our monthly talks continue to give interesting insight on a variety of subjects
such as Wildlife Photography, Agatha Christie and bugging the German
Generals at Trent Park. We are very aware that sound reproduction at the main
meetings has not been as we would like and so we have invested in a new set of
speakers. Along with continued assistance from Niki, the sound manager from
the Spotlight, we hope this will bring an improvement at future meetings.
As a committee we feel it is important to maintain links with other local
organisations so at the monthly meetings, along with the regular interest and
group tables, we offer local community groups the opportunity to highlight their
activities. These have included Cheshunt Fire Service, LV Health Federation,
Cheshunt Bowls and Friends of Cedars Park. As well as providing information
for our members it also makes others aware of what we do and the interests we
have.Nationally there are 1046 U3As with a total in excess of 439,000 members.
Each U3A is a mutual aid organisation, operationally independent but a member
of the Third Age Trust, which requires adherence to the guiding principles of
the U3A movement. As this organisation continues to grow the National Board
of Directors have taken steps to raise the U3A profile. On the 3 rd June 2020
there will be the first National U3A Day with many U3As around the country
organising many different activities.
As a charity we are also obliged to meet the requirements of the Charity
Commission. This year we have put in place a Safeguarding Policy and Jacqui
Fry volunteered to join the committee as our Safeguarding Representative.
Stepping forward to take on this role typifies the approach from all of those
serving on your committee and I thank them for the unseen work they take on
throughout the year to make this organisation run as smoothly as it does.
Along with the committee I would also like to thank the Group Leaders who do
such a good job in organising the activities so much enjoyed by the members.
Throughout the year we are grateful for the support we receive from the staff
here at the Laura Trott centre and the sound engineers from the Spotlight.
And finally, every member plays a part in making this a pleasant and vibrant
organisation to be part of. It is run by the members for the members and I
believe that this collective spirit will ensure Cheshunt U3A continues to be a
place people want to come to enjoy activities, make friends and help make it fun
for everyone.

The museum has collected continually since then and has over 28,000 objects on display and items in the archive. First opened to the public in 1914 the museum has been owned and managed by the College of Optometrists since 1980 and moved to its current location near Charing Cross Station in 1997. In 1998 the first professional curator was appointed and he gave the group an amusing and interesting tour of the display rooms, explaining the history of opticians, optometry and ophthalmology and telling us about the many rare and unique items on display including an important contact lens collection and spectacles from the earliest designs to current trends. Also the Queen Mother’s spectacles, the specially made spectacles for Daniel Radcliffe playing Harry Potter and a false eye for an alien character in a Star Wars film, however the character sadly ended on the cutting room floor and didn’t make it into the film.
