At present there are 8 people on the list and between 2 and 7 folk attend at meetings which are not specially regular but normally at least once a month and can be more frequent as is convenient for people. Always on Thursday mornings so far.
At the last meeting we listened to composers for the letter G, including Grieg, Orlando Gibbons, Gluck, Guerrero, Niel Gow and (a stray one from last time), Manuel de Falla. It isn't at all academic; we just enjoy listening to recordings brought by each other and sometimes what comes in overlaps, often it doesn't. It's interesting to hear whatever appears.

| We meet every 4th Wednesday at 2 pm at a previously agreed venue. For about 1 - 2 hours we take photographs of anything that appeals to our eye. From there we usually adjourn to a nearby tearoom to look at and discuss our best pictures taken at the previous venue and some of a theme set by the group each month (our homework as it were) oh and tea and stickies of course! There is no pressure and no competitions, just good fun and company, the aim being to update and improve our photography skills. | |

VIRTUAL U3A
The Virtual U3A (vU3a), which went live in January 2009, is an online-only U3A, affiliated to the Third Age Trust. One of its principal aims is to provide the U3A experience for those who are rendered isolated in some way by circumstances or geography and unable to play a full part in a terrestrial U3A. More information and a video are available on the public website www.vu3a.org where you can also apply for membership. Why not pay it a visit? And if you know of anyone who might benefit, please pass the information on.
Other groups that are inactive temporarily but may be revived are: LANGUAGE, SHELLS and TRAVEL. Anyone with an interest in these or forming new groups please contact the Orkney U3A by emailing: OrkneyU3A@live.co.uk
