Spotlight On Our Groups

Cooking From Scratch

This course is for people who may not cook regularly or have never cooked and the impact that might have on their lives.

intention is to help avoid ready-meals, using raw ingredients whenever possible, but utilising some pre-prepared items like pesto, puff-pastry, curry paste, etc., where it would be expeditious and help save time, rather than spending hours in the kitchen.

Travel Through My Lens

The Travel Through My Lens travels round the world continue next Thursday 20th February at 10.30 am in studios 2/3 at the Hub.

Colin English will be taking you on a wildlife safari in South Africa, visiting a small private reserve and also the largest of all reserves, the Kruger National Park. We meet all of the Big Five and get glimpses into their way of life. South Africa is not just about the big five and we will see a wide variety of other mammals and beautiful birds.

The meeting is open to all u3a members, but please let Colin English know if you will be attending. Email Colin Here
