Whitwick U3A set for its AGM

THE next monthly meeting of Whitwick and District U3A will be on Friday, May 18: this will be the Annual General Meeting.

In addition, it will be another opportunity to discover what the U3A has to offer to retired people or those approaching retirement.

Our members are involved in a wide range of Interest Groups with something to cater for most tastes and new Groups being formed frequently.

At the AGM, group leaders and others will be on hand to answer any questions and pass on information about our U3A.

After the official business, there will be a talk entitled: Codes, Cyphers and Cryptography – from the Ancient Greeks to Online Banking. This topical presentation will look at some of the ways that messages have been kept secret. It has been a constantly evolving process between those trying to keep the secrets and those trying to “crack” them. It should be both intriguing and relevant to our everyday lives.

To listen to the talk and discover more about our thriving and friendly U3A, come along to St. David’s Church Hall, Broom Leys, Coalville LE67 4RL at 1.45pm for a 2pm start.

The U3A is a non-political and non-religious organisation: everyone is welcome.
