Committee Notice Board – Keeping You Informed
We give a very warm welcome to new members Tina Westley, Carl Smith,
Wal Daw and returning member Ley Holloway
From your Chair
Last spring, between February and March, (coinciding with the start of the pandemic), Joan
Broxholme and I agreed to take on key roles as Vice-Chair and Chair doubling up with our
existing roles. We decided that we could cover these posts initially for six months. We did not
know then, that life would take on a very different course, not only for us, but for everyone.
We were happy to take on this challenge, having been U3A members for a relatively short time
because we were confident that we could help each other. We also knew that we could count on
the support of a very experienced and enthusiastic Committee. We made a good crew, which is
just as well, as we were entering into uncharted waters. There we were, poised for action when
the unimaginable happened. Our first major task had to be the closing down of all U3A activity,
following the guidance of the government and U3A Head Office. This was unfamiliar ground,
with no route map to follow.
Contd on pg 2
--------------------------------------------------------------
With people out of action for different
reasons, our committee is down to numbers
too small to do the job really well.
Our U3A does not run itself — it
needs organisers to keep the show
on the road
So, everyone, can you step up to the plate?
(and, be assured, it's fun and very
satisfying to be involved)
If this prompts you to think about coming
aboard, talk it over with Jo Rosvall, Joan
Broxholme or any committee member (see
end of newsletter)

Contd from pg 1
Finding our way through we
benefited from being part of a
willing team.
We all agreed that we needed to
prioritise keeping up contacts with
members, and lifting everyone’s
spirits in any way we could. We hope
you will agree that we have
achieved this, through the superb
efforts of the Newsletter team
with contributions from members,
and our Welfare support. Our
conveners also have made tremendous efforts to stay in touch with members, and where
restrictions have allowed they have managed to run small groups or move activities on line.
Our proposed six months stint has turned out to be as long as a piece of elastic. We may have
been blown off course a bit, but the boat is still afloat. It has been a challenge, but an
enjoyable one. Joan and I work as a real double act, a true duo, though we are not sure if it is
‘Morecombe and Wise’ or ‘Hinge and Brackett’. It can be great fun working as part of a team.
As Joan says, T.E.A.M. means Together Everyone Achieves More.
With the summer break approaching we are already considering what will happen in September,
ready to plan for the future once more. Maybe some of you will want to join our friendly team,
helping to organise our U3A.
Have a good summer,
Jo Rosvall and Joan Broxholme
Postponement of the Back Together Again Celebration
As you may be aware, we have made the decision to move our
Back Together Again event to Wednesday 20th October.
We felt we should explain to you why this is necessary. When the
Prime Minister told us last week that the restrictions due to be lifted on June 21st was not
going to happen and the 19th of July was the new date, we felt that it was too close to our
event date (21st July) as the caterer requires confirmation of numbers three weeks before
the event and we could not do that with confidence. We contacted the Landmark theatre and
were hoping to rebook for the 22nd of September but unfortunately the venue is booked until
October. We have managed to book the 20th of October and thankfully the caterer and
entertainer can also accommodate us. The postponement to early autumn may also bring
greater reassurance, as more people will have been vaccinated, and the situation hopefully will
stabilise. We are in uncharted waters and have to follow government guidelines.
We will be adding the revised date to the original tickets. Tickets already issued will be valid
for the postponed event. Refunds will be made if the new date is unsuitable. We will not be
banking any cheques we have received until we are certain that the event is going ahead.
So dear members it’s now over to you. Please, please come and support this event. It has been
thoughtfully planned with you in mind and we would love to see you all.

Getting to know you
Hi, my name is Janet Keiff and I have been a member for just
over a year. I joined after Joan Broxholme asked if I would be
able to take over as treasurer (as no one in the U3A had come
forward). My arm is still aching after all the twisting!
I was born in St Katherines dock, a stone’s throw from the Tower
of London and was brought up in the east end of London. I
worked in Whitechapel / Mile End for Barclays Bank until I left
to have my first daughter.
I met my husband at the Ilford Palais in 1981 and got married in
1983, when we moved to Pitsea, 3 years later we moved to
Thundersley where we still have great friends. We have 2 lovely
daughters, 2 great sons in law and 3 grandchildren who keep me
very occupied. I still also work as a bookkeeper/accountant.
We moved to Woolacombe in 1997, buying the house we used to stay at while on holiday, it
was a big gamble at the time but it all worked out really well.
I like going out for meals and away for weekends. We often go back to London as tourists and
at the same time meet up with friends and family. I also often meet up with old school
friends and have lots of fun just being silly!
I have not really had a chance to join in with any U3A activities as lock down happened, but I
do look forward in joining you for lunches/ trips etc. I would join in the singing but even my
grandson puts his hands to his ears when I sing (just like his mum and auntie used to),
I would also like to learn Spanish if a group started up.
I am looking forward to meeting you all in October at the Landmark!
Not forgotten
Alma Freathy d. 14 June 2021 aged 90
Sadly we must report that Alma has passed away peacefully after a long illness. She lived
with her daughter who became her carer.
We remember her as a lovely quiet private person always smiling. Alma was a regular attender
at our monthly lunches, always helpful to our frail members. She joined in with Singing for
Fun, played skittles and bridge, and also came often on garden visits.. She willingly gave lifts
and was extremely generous in donating many valuable raffle prizes. Altogether a lovely
person.
Monthly Lunches and Talks
will hopefully return in the autumn

Welfare Officer Rosemary Stewart
Extended lockdown blights our hope of return to normality and, despite long-awaited
sunshine, it’s not always easy to keep in good spirits. Behavioural science Professor
Paul Dolan known as ‘the Professor of Happiness’ offers 10 tips:
1. Accept we are living in a hard time.
The pandemic circumstances are beyond our control so accepting that life is difficult and
lowering expectations can make us feel better.
2. Value what you have.
Far from envying the friend with a bigger car, the pandemic reminds us of what is fundamentally
important: meeting basic needs, health, family and friends and enjoying simple pleasures.
Compared with many of Earth’s inhabitants then, most of us are actually wealthy and free.
3. Keep talking and listening.
Spend time with those you love and those who make you laugh or pick up the phone for a chat -
with no worry about what to wear
4. Go outside.
Spending time outdoors is universally good for the human condition. Take time to appreciate
nature - it will lift your spirits.
5. Keep moving.
Exercise is another guaranteed mood lifter. Don’t aim for unrealistic gaols, choose something
that works for you. Even just walking round the block once a day or as far as the corner will
bring benefit – remember Captain Tom. And stand whenever possible rather than spending hours
sitting: standing engages different muscles and re-energises you.
6. Take delight in small, achievable pleasures.
Baking, gardening or a new hobby and seeing the fruits of your efforts is hugely rewarding. And
listen to music - it lights up every area of your brain so even 15 minutes is proven beneficial for
your well-being.
7. Hold on to a sense of purpose.
Get up, get dressed and keep to a routine. Tell friends what you plan to do or ask a friend to
join you - the commitment provides incentive and you will gain a sense of fulfilment.
8. Help others.
There is always someone with worse troubles than you. Whether it’s helping someone frail or
disabled, consoling someone bereaved, making that phone call or volunteering your time, helping
others will make you feel better too.
9. Ask for help when you need.
If you’re struggling on any front, say so and accept help. Whether it’s physical or mental health,
a legal or financial problem, your family, friends or welfare contact will want to help you. Just
telling someone about the problem can provide a new perspective and a worry shared is indeed a
worry halved. Loneliness and not reaching out shortens life so pick up the phone!
10. Allow for us all being different.
We are living through a shared difficult time but our individual experience
and reaction will be different. More tolerance and community spirit will
help us all.
As Captain Tom said: “Tomorrow will be a good day”

Oops, or oh dear? A covid story
Didn’t we have a lovely time…
Months ago friends invited us to stay with them in North Wales this June. It seemed a
good idea, and would make a bit of room for some holiday makers to come to North Devon.
The night before we were due to leave, I got home late and realised that, after sitting
outside the house for a week, the green wheelie bin had still not been emptied. So took it
off the street.
Next morning, up bright eyed and bushy tailed to make an early start, we were in time to
see the bin men heading off out of the village. Oh well, never mind…
Got our 2½ year old, recently serviced, car loaded and we left almost half an hour earlier
than scheduled.
A few hundred yards up the road we pulled over to make room for a car coming towards us.
It would have been so much easier if he had reversed back a few yards, but he didn’t. So I
reversed back instead and heard that horrible graunching noise as I caught the underside
of the car on a rock. Oh well, never mind…
With the car still perfectly drivable we headed off for our 250+ mile trip to Pwllheli.
All went well until just after passing the Gordano service area the car lost power while we
were in the outside lane of the M5. It went into what we now know as ‘limp mode’ and we
had a few hairy moments as Margaret drove onto the hard shoulder. After a few suitable
expletives and trying to work out what the warning message on the dashboard meant we
rang the breakdown recovery people. All very efficient, told to get out of the car and
behind a barrier, and in less than half an hour the recovery truck arrived. Under normal
circumstances, the car would have been loaded, we would have climbed on board and headed
back to home. But Covid isn’t a respecter of ‘normality’. The driver explained that in the
circumstances he could take the car to our home, but not us. Instead he was able to drop
us off at Gordano service area. A taxi had been arranged to take us to a car hire depot,
where we could pick up a car to drive ourselves home. Oh well, never mind…
We then started receiving text messages with links telling us the taxi was on its way. It
even told us the make and colour, the registration number, and the expected time of
arrival. All very efficient, except ten minutes after the stated ETA, the details changed –
new taxi, new ETA. Then again a further 15 minutes later, and so on. After an hour I rang
the car hire people to let them know we were still alive and well, only to be told that they
were due to close soon. So we arranged for us to pick up the car from Bristol airport
instead. Good job, because it was another 45 minutes before we got in the taxi. Oh well,
never mind…
We eventually arrived at the airport and were dropped off at the hire car centre, to be
greeted by – no one… A note on the desk told us the receptionist would be back in 90
minutes. Fortunately the girl turned up much sooner than that and we were on our way
without much further delay.
So having left home at 9.30am, at 5.00pm we were on our way home. Until… Yes, more
problems when a warning signal on the hire car showed a tyre was going flat. Careful drive
to Tiverton to check the pressures. All seemed well so we re-set the system and headed
7
off again. Twenty minutes later the same warning appeared. To hell with it, we just kept
going!
By the time we got home the breakdown truck had already delivered our own car and gone
on his way rejoicing. Oh well, never mind..
The next day we drove off in our other car and as I sit here looking out over Cardigan Bay,
all is well with the world.
Alan Bannister.

Filer’s Day Trips Convener: Pat Preston Tel: xxx mob xxx
The change of reopening date has put paid to our first planned day triip to Trellisick House and
gardens which should have taken place on 26 June. Filers have now rearranged this for
October.
So fingers crossed for the trip on Tuesday 27 July 2021 to Kilver
Court Gardens, Designer Village & Garden Centre, price £29 per
person. The visionary design influences of Mulberry founder Roger
Saul can now be seen coming to fruition in the gardens at Kilver Court.
His unique planting schemes using colour and texture are evident in
the newly redesigned 100m colourist herbaceous border, formal
parterre and subtropical island. This eclectic garden is also home to
one of the largest sculptures in the world, a breath-taking 15-metre-
high Victorian viaduct. You can also explore the garden nursery which
is a treasure trove of garden gifts, plants and tools and the many shops and eateries in the designer
village. There is certainly plenty to see and do here for the day
The coach will pick up from Combe Martin (Pack of Cards) Ilfracombe (High Street Petrol Station)
Braunton opposite (The George Hotel) and Barnstaple outside(The Old Town Railway Station).
If as is expected when restrictions are lifted the wearing of masks will be everyone’s personal choice.
For those still wishing to wear masks I would suggest a visor type might be a better choice, I will update
as and when there is more information available.
I would like people to contact me to let me know how many to expect, and their pick up point. Please make
your booking direct with Filers. 01271 863819. PAYMENT MUST BE MADE IN FULL DIRECT TO FILERS
before the date, there can be no payment on the day.

Novel Readers’ meeting for June was to discuss Gillian Flynn’s “Dark Places”. We decided that

Recording my Life Story Convener: Stuart Coslett Tel: xxx
It’s been a while since our last meeting and, as things stand, I can’t see the group re-convening before the
end of September at the earliest. I’m not sure how many of our number still want to pick up where we left
off so many months ago. I know that some of you felt that you had already achieved what you set out to
do. I am prepared to continue if enough people are still interested. Indeed, there may be new members
who want to join us. Another possibility is that we could increase the range of writing we cover and
include fiction, poetry and other forms of non-fiction in our repertoire. I’d be interested to hear what
people think, so please contact me and we’ll take it from there.

Oops
Sorry, Fran, No oopses for you. Except - there was an occasion when I sat down in the kitchen to
struggle a ring pull can open. The ring came off the lid and flew out of my hand across the kitchen, to
land in the open microwave oven. Baffled, I looked all over the floor for it, then resorted to a
different can. Of course, later I heated something in the microwave, completely unaware of the
presence of a small metal object in the cavity. Bang! Fizz! the thing caused an arc and short-
circuited the appliance, landing me with a bill for a new one. The next day, a Tesco delivery arrived.
I complained to the driver about how the ring pull on a can of their tomatoes had failed, and made
him open the offending can with a regular can opener - a gadget I can't use with one hand.
Linda Macpherson
The two ladies involved in this short story are U3A members and still have a giggle about it and will
not mind me telling it. A few years ago whilst staying at a hotel in Llandudno they decided on an early
morning walk. On returning to their hotel they asked Reception where the Breakfast was being
served. They were then informed that they were not even staying at that Hotel! They eventually
found their hotel and had their breakfast.

11I couldn’t think of an oops moment (other than unwelcome physical injuries!) until yesterday… when I
put a casserole in the oven for three hours and remembered it nine hours later.
Betty Williams
Many years ago when we lived in Sussex, I was on my way to Lewes to meet my friend’s daughter. She
was coming the other way from Bexhill on Sea. I wasn’t quite sure which way she would come, so
there is a huge roundabout on the A27 at Lewes and as it wasn’t very busy I decided to tuck in on the
roundabout and hopefully see her coming. Just at that moment a police car pulled up behind me. The
conversation went “Good afternoon, are you ok?” ,” Yes thank you” I said, he said, “No car problems?”
“No” I said. He then said …. Wait for it !!! “So why are you parked on a roundabout?” I said …. “I’m
waiting for my friend!!!!” He very kindly pointed out a lay-by further along the A27 and said I would
be safer there!!!!! Phew, that really was an oops !!! When I think of it, I always chuckle. My family say
I would get away with murder!!
Joan Broxholme
Many years ago, when I worked near Paddington, I was admitted to Queen Mary’s Hospital with
what turned out to be a blocked artery. Upon admission I was rushed to an x-ray suite, stripped of all
garments and placed, naked, on an examination table under the x-ray scanner. The doctor explained
that they were waiting for the technician. At that moment the door opened and the technician
arrived. I glanced at the doorway where stood a young woman who regularly travelled on the same
train as myself most mornings!!!! OOPS! I do not know which of us was the more surprised.
Des Hume
At the age of about twelve or thirteen, new technology reached our home. My parents had gone out
to buy our very first electric kettle. It was an exciting event for us. Indeed, I was so keen to try it
out that I offered to make everyone a cup of tea. I put the kettle on, then rejoined the others while
waiting for it to boil. Soon we smelt burning plastic and detected smoky fumes. Of course I had put
the kettle on the stove to heat up!....Ooops!
Jo Rosvall
My brother, as a teenager, saved up to buy a very smart pair of suede boots, very fashionable at the
time. He wore them on an outing to town, for a whole day. At the end of the day he was very
disappointed, saying he would have to take them back to the shop, he had never experienced
such uncomfortable shoes. He started packing them up, ready to go, when he found that each boot
had a large rolled up ball of brown paper inside. He had been walking around with these inside the
shoes......Ooops!
Jo Rosvall
When we moved to Hungerford, the water was so hard we had a water softener fitted. Luverly.
Unfortunately, a week later I put the washing machine on, totally forgetting about the soft water.
Of course, I used the usual amount of washing liquid - I had bubbles everywhere. Took me ages to
clear them out of the kitchen - not helped by Jenny curled up with laughter! (In fairness she was
only 6!)
Jacquie Andrews
And I promised you the quick and easy method for getting the lid off a tin (in this case a 5l can of
masonry paint.)
Put on a pair of marigolds, ready to keep your hands clean when you start painting.
Make sure the can is upside down and holding it round the middle, from waist height, let it slide
through the marigolds and drop it straight down onto the floor.
You will find the lid comes off very easily.

SUMMER 2021
July, a sort of blowsy month
When summer’s not so new,
When trees have dulled to darker green
And fields change colour too,
Silage made and meadows mown
They have a sallow hue.
August, sultry, stormy month
When rippled fields of wheat
Turn browner as the ears fill up
And ripen as the beat
Of combine harvesters is heard,
And dust clouds hold the heat.
And so the year has turned again,
The longest day has gone,
Another year when nothing much
In social life went on,
But still we’re here, and ready for
A meeting marathon!
