THE COMMITTEE
At Barnsley & District u3a, everyone, without exception, is first
and foremost a normal everyday member, with needs and wishes that are
just the same as any other of our 1250+ members. But in addition to
being everyday members, these individuals have also stepped up and
volunteered extra time and energy. They take on the duties that make up
the vital infrastructure, hidden behind the scenes, that keep things
running smooth(ish)ly.
All this is well worth remembering if you have a problem or
difficulty because these individuals aren't part of a faceless uncaring organisation they are your fellow members doing their absolute utmost to oil (the
vibrant but very occasionally creaky) wheels of our Barnsley and
District u3a.
We welcome enthusiastic support in our efforts to keep
things running well, and if you feel you could shadow one of the committee
and lend a hand when needed, or even possibly take on a role yourself to help
us in its running, you will be welcomed with open arms!
