thewindowforwallingfordthewindowforwallingford Thameside (Wallingford) U3A THE April coffee morning will take place on Friday, April 3rd in Centre 70. Audrey Maple has a list of friendly volunteers who enjoy helping from time to time, but she is always pleased to hear from others who might be prepared to lend a hand in a month that suits them best. Our April lecturer is David Smith. The title of his talk is The History of Shepherding. The venue is the Baptist Church, the date April 15th, and the starting time 2 pm. The April outing is to the Cotswold Falconry Centre and Batsford Arboretum (Moreton-in-Marsh) on Friday, April 24th. The tour leader is Sylvia South (tel 833859). There is an additional outing to the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, on Thursday, April 20th to see The Merchant of Venice, with tour leader Valerie Rodden (tel 825268). The closing date for bookings may already have passed, but tour leaders are able to advise on last-minute vacancies due to withdrawals. Mention was made in the January issue of events away from Wallingford, organised by our regional (or network) committee. One of the four planned study days, entitled Music Matters, has already taken place. For the remaining three, we do not yet have the exact dates, only the month: Art History and Appreciation in June, Infrastructure Construction in September, and Creative Writing in November. The summer school will definitely take place from 21st-23rd September in Jesus College, Oxford. It should appeal to those wishing to know more about the city and university of Oxford and will consist of talks, visits, demonstrations and discussions. The cost for day attendance is £200 and for residential participation £360. Further information can be obtained from Mike Price, 25 Elm Trees, Long Crendon, Aylesbury, Bucks, HP18 9DG (tel. 01844 208637, e-mail candmp@toucansurf.com). The flyer makes this event look most interesting. According to psychologists and some of the media, the third Monday in January is the gloomiest and most depressing day of the year. Whether the arrival of the U3A News and its educational companion, Sources, on the same day alleviated the problem or exacerbated it, depends no doubt on the receptiveness of each reader! Whilst the U3A News lived up to its name, Sources devoted the majority of its pages to environmental issues. It addressed such problems as pollution, population expansion, rising sea levels, climate change and wind power with some balanced and well researched articles. Sources is published three times a year, and its policy is to focus on one particular theme in each issue. The themes in the next two editions are to be Literature and Drama (June) and Languages (October), and members are invited to contribute articles to the editorial panel at Gelt Mill House, Castle Carrock, Brampton, CA8 9NQ or tony.thornton@virgin.net. Who will be the first member of Thameside (Wallingford) U3A to have an article published He or she will be the toast of the town and receive a bottle of champagne from our committee! Thameside (Wallingford) U3A is always pleased to welcome new members. Anyone interested should contact Milli Eaton on 835689. Mark Phillips The Thames will be running again - can you help ON the 31st May 2009 Wallingford’s streets and river banks will again resound to the steps of 500 runners as they compete in the 10k multi-terrain course that is the ‘Wallingford Thames Run’. Organised in conjunction with Howbery Park and Cancer Research UK, this annual event is now a well respected feature of the running calendar attracting runners and their families from all over the UK and overseas. Starting and finishing in the beautiful surroundings of Howbery Park, on the day the run will start at 10:30 and finishes around 12:30. There will be children’s activities and food available at this very attractive riverside location. The event has raised over £10,000 for Cancer Research UK and selected local charities, so if you fancy a challenge and can donate either money or time we would love to hear from you. We would like to hear from: • Runners, • Running clubs, • Organisations who want to enter a team, • Sponsors • Anyone who would like to beat cancer • Volunteer marshals and general helpers on the day.
