---- Change of venue ----
Work at our regular venue, the Ludlow Assembly Rooms, was due to finish soon but has been delayed and we have been told it may continue until beyond the summer. For a number of practical reasons, the committee has decided to move the monthly meetings and the AGM to the Ludlow Mascall Centre in Lower Galdeford until the work at the Assembly Rooms is complete. We think the Mascall Centre will provide us with a good home until the Assembly Rooms renovation is completed. The Centre was, after all, where U3A in Ludlow began life in 1997.
There is some parking available at the Centre itself and 'pay and display' parking at the nearby Smithfield Car Park.
Please note that coffee etc will be available in the Centre café from 10.30, with meetings starting at 11.00. This is half an hour later than normal, but we still aim to conclude around noon. Unfortunately, there is no hearing loop.
Would coordinators seeing this notice please pass the details on to their group members?

Study Groups
Members meet regularly in their chosen study groups to discuss and learn topics of mutual interest. Each group has a coordinator who is a point of contact and deals with the practical running of the group. All members of the group share responsibility for the learning that takes place.
Go to Study Groups to find out more.
Monthly Meetings
These are open to all members and provide an opportunity for all members to socialise over a cup of coffee and also to meet members of the U3A in Ludlow committee.
The next monthly meeting is on Monday 24 June 2019 when Geoff Scargill will talk about The Last Laugh of the Railway King.
Geoff is a retired head teacher and magistrate with a multiplicity of interests including politics, music and travel and has given many talks the proceeds of which go to Cancer Research. Amongst his repertoire it is his talk about Sir Edward William Watkin that is the most popular.
Now largely forgotten Sir Edward was known as the Railway King because of engineering projects to develop railways. He had, however, a much wider interest in projects to benefit society. He initiated the development of the first Channel Tunnel and the development of Wembley Park as a pleasure park, but now associated with English football.
Geoff’s talk is not technical and will reveal the greatest sensation Watkins caused in the art world in 20th century America 70 years after his death.
NB The talk starts around 11.15. Coffee is available from 10.30
