U3A Group

We are getting together a few volunteers to help start up a U3A Group based in Tattenhall but involving the rural areas.  There is plenty of support from the National, Regional and Local bodies of U3A and you do not have to lead a group to be able to help start up!

U3As are democratic, self-funded and self-managed organisations which exist to provide education and leisure activities for men and women, no longer in full time employment (and not intending to return to full time employment), at minimal cost.   They draw upon the knowledge, experience, skills and enthusiasms of their members to organise interest groups, in accordance with the wishes of the membership.  U3As offer a vast range of subjects in such diverse fields as:  art, foreign languages, music, history, gardening, crafts, archaeology, astronomy and computing.   They also offer activities such as walking groups, luncheon clubs, bridge groups, scrabble, singing for pleasure and line dancing.   The possibilities are endless!

Anyone in the third age can join U3A.  No qualifications are required and none are given.   The Third Age Trust is the national representative body for the U3A movement in the UK (Reg. Charity No. 288007) providing a wide range of support services to the U3As.  (www.u3a.org.uk)

If you are interested in helping to start up a U3A group in Tattenhall please contact Hilary Scarratt on 01829 770617 or email through the "Contact Us" page in the right column. 

A notice will appear here in about 3 weeks' time giving details of a meeting for people interested in becoming a member of a local U3A group - please watch this space!

Tattenhall Community Association & Bickerton Village Hall (jointly)

present

"Shoo Shoo Baby"

Sunday 7th March at 7.30pm
at

 Bickerton Village Hall

The effortlessly funny double act returns to the stage to heroically perform ‘The Entire History of Cabaret’ in just 90 minutes!  The Shoo Shoos whirl the audience breathlessly past the spectres haunting Cabaret’s past. The journey begins in the Belle Époque Paris, rattles through the gloomily decadent Weimar Republic, hurtles across the Atlantic to the Cotton Club and ends with their macabre opera parody Benjamin Britten’s Got Talent.

Tattenhall Community Association are jointly hosting this show with Bickerton; tickets available from 01829 771442/771649 or from Village Greens.

It could be well worth your time having a look at the Project Rural Matters Page (through Homewatch Page) to see what local issues may affect you, particularly the issue of leaving laptops in vehicles which can give off a bluetooth signal to a thief who will break into your car even though you think you have put it well out of sight!!

The Homewatch page (click on symbol on right above) is updated as and when information comes in.  However, the Project Rural Matters page is updated weekly with new important information from the local Police.  There is also information on Cheshire Police and how you can give them your views.

From the Homewatch page you will be able to access the
'Lost Dog' page which will show any missing animal, plus those that the Dog Warden is trying to find caring homes for - please have a look.  Occasionally there is also information on cats  and dogs found.
