Southwell u3a frequently organises and runs short courses and workshops for members. Short courses and workshops have proved popular, and we expect a range of topics to be offered annually as needs and leaders are identified. Further information will be given at the monthly meetings and within our "Newsline" magazine
Short courses currently on offer for 2025 are: iPad Art Facebook For Beginners An Introduction To The Solar System Home Fire Safety What Have the Romans Ever Done For Us? Basic First Aid Sketching Outdoors Introduction To Family History
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.
