HIU3A open day, and visits update

Open day

Please keep your diary free for our open day on Thursday, 28th May from 10-3. Most of our groups will be available to talk about their activities. If you know someone who might be interested in joining us, please let them know they'll be welcome to come and find out more. More details here.

For the day we need help with marshalling the car parks, and with greeting people. Please let me know if you can spare some time on the day.

Visits update

We've arranged a new visit to Parham House and gardens for Sunday 21st June leaving HIADS at 11.30. This will be our first opportunity to use the Hayling Island Businessmens Club minibus which means the cost will be just £10 per member, you'll also need to pay for admission to the gardens and, optionally, the house. Places are limited so, if you are interested, please book online as soon as you can. More details and a booking form here.

We are also taking bookings for our visit to Bletchley Park on Tuesday 25th August. It's looking like it will be a popular visit, so don't miss out. More details and a booking form here.

New HIU3A visit to see My Fair Lady

Two visits in one!

We're going to see the 2.30 performance of My Fair Lady on Saturday 18th July at the Chichester Festival Theatre. We've arranged a group ticket price of £54 per member.

We've also made a group booking for a backstage tour of the theatre at £14 per member. The tour starts at 10.30am on the same day. Booking for the two events is separate. You can join either or both. Note, however, that tour places are limited.

Neither price includes transport. For more details about the events including transport suggestions, and to book your place click/tap here for My Fair Lady and here for the backstage tour.

The terms of the group booking mean we have to pay for places in March even though the events don't take place until July. Booking for both events will therefore close on 20th March - the day after Thursday's monthly meeting - and you will need to confirm your booking by making payment before 26th March.

HIU3A memberships are coming due

Memberships are due for renewal on April 1st and can be renewed from now on. The fee is £15 for full members and £10 for associate members.

Our preferred and best way to renew is online paying by card. Follow the simple instructions here. You can make a single payment covering two members if that's appropriate.

Alternatively you can renew in person at the monthly meeting on Thursday March 19th by card or cash. Or, if necessary, by post. Send a cheque payable to 'Hayling Island u3a' or cash with member name and SAE to:

The Membership Secretary
c/o 18 St Marys Road
Hayling Island
PO11 9BY

Renewing online by card is the quickest and most reliable way and saves both me and our treasurer a lot of time. Be assured that we do not see your card details, only your details and the amount you paid.

Your early attention is always appreciated. Unless paying by card, please allow a few days for processing.

Thank you,

Peter Haskell
HIU3A Membership Secretary
