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!
