Attending the Monthly Meeting
Skiddaw U3A has a policy of ensuring that members can attend the Monthly Meetings if they so wish. The Committee have a scheme so that all members have that opportunity. There are many reasons why members may have difficulties, for instance: living in a remote rural area with no car or access to public transport, perhaps a temporary disability resulting in the member not being able to drive, having difficulty walking or problems with mobility, sight, hearing etc.
Would you like to attend Monthly Meetings but need and would welcome assistance? Please note though, this is not a taxi service for all. Mileage costs at the appropriate rate would be paid by the passenger to the driver. Monthly Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month apart from August and December when a Monthly Meeting will not be held. The meetings are usually held in nearby village halls. If you would like to request assistance to attend Monthly Meetings, then please contact Tom Rennie via this website Accessibility, by email at accessibility@skiddawu3a.co.uk or by phone 07761 796615.
If you feel you could offer to become a volunteer driver, please contact Tom using the above contact details.
