Madam, Responding to the article in the Ross Gazette on November 21st regarding the residents of Smallbrook Gardens and how they no longer have anyone to organise their trips.

We at the U3A always welcome new members, where one of the many activities on offer are local trips. There are also many other interest and hobby groups including theatre and garden visits.

Annual membership fees are £16 single, and £27 for a joint membership, plus outing costs.  Information leaflets are available at the Larruperz Centre.

We hope this might be useful and help fill the void left by the departure of their warden.

Ross & District U3A Publicity Secretary
