---- 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.
PLEASE NOTE that from January, the monthly meetings will be held at the Ludlow Mascall Centre in Lower Galdeford at 10.30 for 11.00.
The next meeting is on Monday 25 February. Graham Short, who lives in Birmingham, left school with no qualifications and began an apprenticeship in engraving. He discovered he had a special talent for this and he is now a world-famous micro-artist. His work, which is invisible to the naked eye, is much in demand and sells in galleries around the world. He is the man who engraved the Lord’s Prayer on the head of a pin, ‘Nothing is Impossible’ along the sharp edge of a Wilkinson razor blade and the portrait of writer Jane Austen on the transparent section of four polymer banknotes which were then put into circulation. This venture was reported by the media in fifty-eight countries around the world. How does he do this? His presentation will reveal his methods and will be both instructive and entertaining
