Workshops
Fire Safety Workshop Thursday, 10th April 10:00hrs-11:30hrs provider: Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service
This is the first of this kind of presentation that we have tried, and I hope that it will be useful for members to consider their home fire safety. Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue will send a couple of officers out to speak giving a short presentation and answer questions. Please let me know if you would like to attend as soon as possible since the response to my initial articles has been low.
Contact: Jane Zdanowski [email protected] or 01636 813915 (answerphone).
First aid training by British Red Cross Thursday, 22nd May 10:00hrs–12:00hrs, venue to be confirmed.
Always a very popular session, even if you have done first aid in the last five years, well worth a revision.
The session covers CPR and use of the defibrillator, you will see them everywhere nowadays and there is usually time for questions. Please book with me as soon as possible.

Archery
As part of our programme of short courses and workshops, Sherwood Archers will be putting on an archery lesson for Southwell u3a members at Maythorne Cottage Field, off Lower Kirklington Road, in Southwell. Members will get an hour’s tuition in the sport from experienced members of Sherwood Archers. It will be very much a hands-on session, even if it doesn’t quite turn you into Robin Hood by the end of the hour! The session will start at 10.00am on Sunday 29th June and will be limited to 20 participants. However, if there is greater demand, it may be possible to run a further session. No previous experience is required and disabilities can usually be accommodated. Sherwood Archers will charge £12.50 per person for the session, and details of payment methods will be sent to participants. If you would like to take part, please send me an email. Full details will be sent to you nearer the date.

Co-op Legal Planning Department, talk entitled “ Tax, Care & Toy Boys”, Thursday 14th August
This will cover topics:
Protecting Your Home and Savings:
For many people, one of the biggest worries as they grow old is being able to give their family a helping hand and make sure
that when they die what they have worked all their life for goes to the people they love the most.
Care fees can have a significant effect on this and we’ll explain how it works and what steps you can take to protect your estate.
Inheritance Tax:
We can help to explain how people can be impacted and some simple steps to take that may reduce the burden.
Sideways disinheritance and blended families - re-marriage of a surviving spouse can inadvertently result in the new spouse inheriting everything whilst the children from the first marriage get nothing.
With blended families being more commonplace today it is never more important to take steps to ensure your chosen beneficiaries inherit. We will explain how.
Lasting Powers of Attorney:
No one wants to think about what will happen if they become unable to make decisions themselves through illness, an accident
or old age.
However, thinking about this now and planning ahead will remove the burden from your family and help reduce the stress and cost to your family at a very difficult time.
