2026
- October 2026: "I am honoured to have been elected to chair our thriving U3A and will do my best to maintain the high standards of all our activities…"
- July 2026: "It has been a real privilege to be Chair for these early formative years. To see the initial idea develop into the organisation we have now, to see new groups forming, to learn of new friendships being made, to work with like-minded people and to watch people sharing and learning together have been for me a joy, and I thank you all for being part of it and giving me the opportunity to experience what has been one of the most rewarding times of my life."
- February 2026: “It’s not just the weather that needs to change in 2026. By the time we reach our AGM in June we will have been a fully affiliated u3a for three years. This means that according to our constitution those Committee members like me who have held the same position for that period must either step down from the Committee or change role. […] Committee membership is not of course for everyone, but to safeguard our future it has tobe for some. We already have candidates for the main officer posts, but at the AGM in June we really will need two or three of you to become Committee members.”
