● ANNOUNCEMENT - Engineering & Science – A new group
The formation of a new group to cover Engineering and Science in their widest forms is being considered.
Initially it is intended to cover the Northwest as there are many subjects of interest from power generation to textiles.
It is envisaged that the format will be of visits using our own cars, with cost sharing, and will be on weekdays and weekends where appropriate, due to the heavy U3A weekly programme.  At the January meeting a list will be available to which anyone interested can add their names.
Interested members may log their interest, using the internet, by sending their name, special interests and suggested places to visit by email to the following address:  engineering.science@highlaneu3a.org.uk
