Sawston Area u3a - 25 Year Celebrations 2023
The members of Sawston Area u3a were able to enjoy two celebrations in 2023 to commemorate their 25 Year Anniversary.
In June a Coronation Celebration with a performance by the Blue Sky Big Band followed by a Hog Roast was held at Sawston Village College. Approximately 140 members attended and it was a most enjoyable and successful day, with a bar and raffle raising £552.26 profit.
Coronation profits were divided equally between The Arthur Rank Hospice and the local John Huntingdon Charity.
Dunwich
In September 2023, members were able to enjoy a day out to the Suffolk coast where we divided into three groups. The more energetic walked about four and a half miles from Walberswick to Dunwich, a second group walked two miles around the coast of Dunwich and a further party just enjoyed being by the sea. Everyone met up for a fish and chip lunch at the Flora Tea Rooms in Dunwich who, despite the vast numbers, produced the most delicious meal. The coaches then took everyone for a trip around Aldeburgh for more sea air, or shopping and afternoon tea on the High Street, before conveying the tired but happy groups back to Sawston.
PRESENTATION 2022
A reminder of a happy and momentous occasion in August 2022; the presentation at Ickleton Village Hall of an inscribed garden bench, to Derek and Myfanwy, in recognition of all they have done for Sawston Area u3a over nearly a quarter of a century.
