Hayling Island U3A
News of general interest to all members
A reminder that at next Thursday's meeting we'll hear a presentation from Darren Gowers exploring the world of microbiology and how it can help us understand and - hopefully - conquer disease.
There will not be a meeting in December.
We'll shortly add next year's monthly meeting programme to the web site.
We send this email on the week-end before each monthly meeting. If you have something you'd like to include please let me know.

Next Thursday's monthly meeting will introduce us to the work of the Hampshire air ambulance. Note this is a change to the programme shown at the beginning of the year.
Not a lot of news this month, so here's a reminder about the Second World War project...
Following the success of our book on Hayling during the First World War, we are applying for a Lottery grant to produce a new book covering Hayling during the Second World War and the intervening years. In anticipation, Mike Burnham is collecting useful material and arranging interviews with people that have relevant memories. If you can help or know someone that could help, please contact Mike Burnham: get in touch with him direct.
We send this email on the week-end before each monthly meeting. If you have something you'd like to include please let me know.
