EAST LOTHIAN U3A LEISURE AND LEARNING GROUPS

THE AIM OF THE U3A is to provide for its members the opportunity to develop their interests with others who share them.

This booklet lists the groups offered by East Lothian U3A. Up-to-date information about groups is sent in regular newsletters and bulletins and is posted to the website.

New subject suggestions are always welcome.

Please keep this booklet for future reference.

JOINING A GROUP To join a group, or to find out more about it, contact the group leader direct. Members may join as many groups as they wish.

GROUPS are listed under the following subject areas:

Arts and crafts Computing Games Get physical History Languages Literature Mind and Body Music Sciences and philosophy Visits

GROUP LEADERS East Lothian U3A uses the general title ‘leader’ for any member who offers to run a group, but it is used in its widest sense, from meaning just the main contact person, through to the organiser of a group programme, and for some, the actual teaching of a subject. It is up to those who volunteer to run groups to decide, in consultation with the group’s members, how they wish to ‘lead’ their group.

A small, elected committee looks after the common interests of the group, and collates programmes of walks in the Lothians and Borders three times a year. Walks are usually between 8 and 10 miles, moderately demanding, sometimes including steep gradients, and with al fresco stops for coffee and lunch. It isn’t a requirement, but all members are encouraged to take a turn at planning and leading a walk.

These projects can be our own, not requiring outside finance (e.g. our work on East Lothian graveyards and on Yester Castle) or can involve providing a team of volunteers to work on defined parts of larger projects organised and financed by other organisations (e.g. our contribution to buildings archaeology work on Yester Chapel, and to archaeological digs). In both cases our project team is co-ordinated by a member of the Group. We prepare reports on our projects and in some cases publish them. We also contribute to the East Lothia n Ar-chaeology Fortnight each September. We meet at the Bridge Centre as required to share experiences and co-ordinate work. Appropriate training sessions are arranged as needed. Occasional talks and visits to places of interest are arranged by members of the Group. We see ourselves as a resource with a variety of skills and experience which can be used to advantage in East Lothian.

By looking at the underlying biology this group endeavours to distin-guish certainty from the unknown and uncertain and thereby gain some new perspectives on matters related to health, the environment and farming, and distinguish where it is good to tread and where it is unwise to meddle.
