SO, WHAT WILL THIS GROUP DO? WELL, WE DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THAT!
The idea is that different members can use this group to put forward ideas for something they have always wanted to do, or that they have enjoyed in the past but have not done for a while - and be able to find out if there are others in Roding Valley u3a who would like to join them in this.
Perhaps something that needs a minimum number of people in order for it to happen. Or something that would just be more fun if you did it as a group. Maybe something dare-devil, or luxurious, or food or drink related, or some new mode of transport, or a brain-teaser option, or learning a new craft, or whatever... A variety of different one-off events. Some active, some relaxed, some social.
The group will be run on WhatsApp.

HOW IT WILL OPERATE
The key thing however is that each activity will have a different leader.
We will be looking for volunteers not just to think up an idea, but also be willing to research opportunities, find out costs and venues, put together a pitch to help recruit others to join in. Note that it doesn't have to be just one leader working alone. There is nothing to stop two or more people with similar ideas running something jointly.
Please note there will be a nominal “group convenor", to ensure things stay compliant with u3a policies - HOWEVER it will be the event leader who will be the one pitching, pricing, promoting and making things happen for the actual event date!
The plan is to start small, low cost, and self-managed. The range of activities will all depend on what ideas are pitched.
