Today we had a new member, interested in graphics, and keen to find out what we do, At the same time there was a discussion on the amount of subsidy we receive from the U3A. Derek who looks after the U3A website, and has been a staunch member of our group from the beginning has discussed this with the U3A treasurer and has kindly offered to write to our members to find a remedy. The treasurer has also mentioned to me that he has approached Brian Wise to start up another computer group at the Angmering Centre. We do not support Microsoft very much, we only offered because Brian Wise's group folded. We have had good numbers attending, but numbers have fallen off, largely because we have not been able to cater for all their interests and needs.<div>
Please make an effort to read what Derek is about to send to you, and if you want to attend next week you can make your feelings known audibly. You might even reply using the lug mail if you cannot come next week!</div><div>
I have tried on several occasions to pass the buck of lugmaster on but there were no willing hands ready to take over. I have personally benefited enormously from being a member of the group, but am always ready to give way to a younger and more able person.</div>
<div>I hope that we can carry on until October 20th as that will mean a 2 year span, with the split of the Arun U3A into 3 sub groups it is normal that those in command look seriously at finance and sharing of the resources.</div>
