Sussex U3A Region

Arun Valley U3A Representative: Peter Bassett

Sussex U3A Regional Association (SURA)

For the average member of the U3A, the most significant aspect of SURA is the opportunity it provides for the 30+ U3A's in East and West Sussex to band together to hire a hall, find a speaker and hold a study day Increasingly there is involvement with the Universities and other organisations with active education departments and almost without exception these days provide good value for money, both in the quality of the speaker and as a day out with like-minded people. SURA and the South East regional Network of the U3A also run its own summer school at Chichester University.

Each local U3A has its own representative on SURA. I represent Arun Valley and my most important role is to receive and circulate details for forthcoming Study Days and courses. Because monthly meetings do not appear to be in favour with our U3A, and because the Newsletter only appears three times a year, there is some difficulty in getting information round to interested members. Study days are popular and I do feel the need to get the information round to you quickly. The easiest way to do this is via email giving a short list of available forthcoming events, although if you do not use internet we can post this to you. The Arun Valley U3A does of course have to pay the postage.
