Accord The U3As of Beverley, Caves,
Cottingham, Hessle and Swanland formed the Accord Group several years ago for
the benefit of their members. There are some rules to ensure the system
operates fairly and is not abused. 1. A member of one U3A may belong to
an interest group of another U3A if a place is available and their own U3A
does not have a similar group. No charge is made for this, other than the
same charge that may apply to all members of that group, ie
for room hire, biscuits etc. (It is not anticipated that the same person
would wish to join more than two groups at another U3A. If so they would be
expected to join that U3A as a full member) 2. No member of any U3A is allowed to
join in the general meetings of another U3A, eg our
Thursday meetings, nor be present at their AGM. If this happens that person
must pay the full subscription and become a member of that U3A. 3. In exceptional cases a guest may be
brought to a general meeting on payment of a small fee, to be decided by the
host U3A. (Not more than two visits without joining as a full member). This
applies also to “taster” visits by someone sampling up to two meetings before
deciding whether to become a member of a particular U3A. Alan Boden |

Booking
of Digital Equipment From the time we purchased our equipment, early in 2006, its use has steadily
increased, both at general Thursday meetings and by various interest groups.
Demand for its use is likely to further increase, thus making it even more
important that those requiring to borrow the
equipment book it as far as possible in advance with Malcolm Lawrenson, our Administrator, who keeps a diary noting
all requests. Failure to book ahead may lead to finding the equipment already
booked out or not giving time for Malcolm to make alternative arrangements
for issue should he be away on holiday, etc. Alan Boden |

Copyright
Licence The Third Age Trust has entered into an agreement with the Copyright
Licensing Agency to allow any participating U3A to multi-photocopy and
digitally copy books, journals, magazines and original print material for
educational purposes. Swanland U3A has paid the annual fee of £15.30 to
enable it to take advantage of the agreement.
Please note that the photocopying of music is not covered. Alan Boden |

Parking
at St Barnabas Please park thoughtfully in the St Barnabas car park
to maximize the number of cars that can get parked while leaving space where
the bollard denotes a reservation for a guest speaker. A word of caution
about parking on the neighbouring |
