This summer our publicity team, with the help of
40 volunteers, took part in five events: Birdcage,
Library, Leisure Centre, Abbot Hall Park and the
Westmorland Show (where our stand attracted
over 360 people). Altogether we spoke to over
700 people. the majority of whom had not heard
about the u3a before. And it has already paid off
– our membership secretary has reported a 2/3 rise in new members joining between July and October this year as compared to last year.
THANK YOU to all those who helped spread the word – some at more than one event. We met a variety of people, many with interesting stories …. altogether an enjoyable experience. Photo: volunteers in Abbot Hall Park at Mayor’s Fete in September
