MILL HILL NEWSLETTER

Mill Hill U3A — Newsletter No. 37, July 2019 Page no. 1

A letter from the Editor:

“Dear Loyal Reader, I want you to think of this Newsletter as ‘yours’ as much as anyone’s. This means that YOU can write something and send it in for inclusion. If you have anything to say about our U3A then please do so. Send what you want to say to me, at the email address shown below. Of course, the Editor reserves the right to edit (within reason) - but any sensible, inoffensive comments, suggestions, proposals or complaints will receive a fair hearing. I know that some of you have something to say—you’ve spoken to me! So, why not get writing and share your views and ideas? You could tell us about your experiences with one of our Groups (I’d speak to the Group Leader first, if I were you); and why not send in a photo, showing us what you've been getting up to? (I reserve the right to censor if required!) Hope to hear from you. The Editor.”
