Spotlight On Our Groups

For our next journey Kevin Farwell takes us to Alaska. Kevin’s interest in Alaska started when he was a ship’s photographer on cruise ships visiting the State back in the early 1990’s. He then became shore excursions manager entailing him giving illustrated talks to passengers at the beginning of each cruise – detailing the excursions program – which in Alaska is extensive. Kevin will share the history of the State & his passion for the incredible scenery & extensive shore excursions programme.
The meeting is open to all u3a members, but please let Colin know if you will be attending to ensure that there is adequate seating by clicking here
