AUGUST -  More than 40 members gathered at "Rowardennan," the home of Annette and Bob Dwyer-Joyce, where they were issued with a map and clues, for a Walking Treasure Hunt around Hutton Mount, ably planned by Ann and John Franey. We certainly saw how the other half lives(!!), while enjoying a dry, warm day with a gentle breeze. As we made our way back to Bob and Annette's a welcome tea was provided for us to enjoy in their beautiful garden. Many grateful thanks must go to them for the use of their house and garden, and for their involvement in this happy event, and to Ann and John Franey for working so hard planning the route and clues which tested our powers of observation (some of us were a bit imaginative with our answers!). Thanks must also go to all those people who helped by providing delicious cakes. We are fortunate to have so many splendid cooks and so many lovely people in our U3A. Runners-up with 61 points out of a possible 70 were Anita and Roger Butt and in first place, with just one point more were Sheila Boar and Barbara Lemmon.
