u3a in Scotland Autumn Event
Tuesday October 28th - 10am on Zoom
Our Autumn Zoom Event is taking place on the morning of Tuesday October 28th. This time we are trying to bring you something a bit different - the event is on the subject of u3a group travel. Many u3as have holiday / travel groups and others are looking to set them up and we have been asked for advice by some committee members. In this special autumn event we have contributions from the groups team at Riviera Travel and Glenton Holidays. They will give advice on planning group holidays - both in the UK and overseas. We will also be hearing from Dundee u3a and Fife u3a who have well established travel groups - we will discover how they organise their adventures! We will also have a talk from member Rob Lightfoot about a special group holiday he took to Japan which showcases the joy of travel. We hope to have as many members as possible to join us for this event. It is not just for committee members - we think this will be of interest to all u3a members who would like to take a u3a holiday. We hope to give you practical advice on organising group travel, as well of course as emphasising the joy of travel.
