The U3AC cycling group is open to all U3AC members, and we welcome riders of all abilities, and including those with electric bikes. Our rides are in small, friendly groups and we cycle between 12 and 30 miles, with a refreshment stop. We start from various locations in and around Cambridge. No commitment is required – you can join as many or as few rides as you wish. If you are interested in joining the group, please contact the co-ordinator, Derek Morris at u3ac.cyclingclub@gmail.com.
Our current Rides Programme can be found on the U3AC website. Login to the site, and then visit https://www.u3ac.org.uk/extra-groups/cycling-club/
We have 10 rides planned for June and July, ranging between 15 and 30 miles. Full details of each ride and contact details for the ride leader can be found in the Rides Programme.
A free concert of mixed choral music flavours by the U3AC Choir, directed by Brian Watkins
ALL WELCOME!
Celebrate summer with a smorgasbord of choral music, from 16th century French drinking songs to Spirituals, a Sea Shanty, a South African blessing, a joyful excerpt from Haydn’s Creation, and even a medley from Les Misérables! Come and listen to your U3AC friends and colleagues and bring your guests along too for this free concert, starting at 11am prompt. Location: St James’s Church, Wulfstan Way, CB1 8QJ (on the No.2 Bus route). Refreshments will be available after the concert; donations towards costs would be appreciated.
This year’s Open Day will be held on Thursday, 4 July from 10.00am to 1.00pm at Bridge Street. Please make an effort to tell everyone you know who might be interested in becoming a U3AC member – we are very keen to encourage new members!
We have a new version of our poster that specifically refers to the Open Day. We would be grateful if members could arrange to have these put up in their local GP surgeries, village halls, village poster sites, gyms, community centres, libraries, Marketing Suites of new housing developments etc. Posters are available from the Office or you can print them yourself HERE.
Contact the Office if you can help.
There are displays of two collaborative pieces of work by the Barnwell Art Group (ART 06) in the social area of the Bridge Street premises, both comprising individual contributions from class members. Full descriptions of the processes involved are given on the group website below, the ‘Laurel & Hardy’ jigsaw project on the 2023-24 page, and the ‘Cambridge Shop Windows’ on 2022-23. barnwellartgroup.wordpress.com
