Me and my big mouth

I attended my first U3A lunch yesterday. I was met by the luncheon secretary and hosted at the top table, which was out of sight of the screen and talk, so I had to move my chair to be able to see the presentation. This put me in sight of all 100 members much to my dismay. The talk was on 'Myths and Legends of Baggy Point' which is a local finger of rock that goes about 1.5 miles out into the sea on the coastline near where I live. The one item that struck me as the talk finished was the many ships that had come to grief along that coastline. We were also told that the reason we had a coastal path was due to the need of the excise officers trying contain the smuggling that was rife in those days.

The luncheon finished with the Chairman, Ken, reading out notices amongst which was a call for a new webmaster as the lady who was doing it would not be continuing. Afterwards I asked Ken what was entailed and before I knew it I had become the new Webmaster!

The downside is that the host site is closing down due to local council cutbacks and all the information will have to be transferred, but the upside is that I can start from scratch with a new host site and that has to be good.

So my new life has begun, I'm out at meetings twice a week and have doubled my trips out with my dogs. I have also started using my Wii excercises again to combat the weight I put on whilst taking some terrible tablets. On top of that is my work with Sue where we have come up with Bridal Wallets - a pouch in waste damask with a beaded edging on the flap for putting money, cheques or vouchers in - for giving to wedding couples.
