It was National u3a day on Wednesday and our local u3a put on an excellent display of what was on offer for local people. Around 250 attended during the day. Strict covid rules applied of course with only 30 people allowed on site at the venue, including volunteers and visitors. There was even the occasional queue! The Guitar Group I run were asked to do some entertaining and we did two sets, the second extended whilst the guests of honour (local mayoral party) were having a cuppa. We had 9 of our group there with the others either away or unavailable. So, around 20 songs later, some sore fingers and a bit of sunburn we finished our second set. A little ragged at times but pretty good considering it had been over 15 months since we played together. Lovely to be playing again in company. Attachments:
