Welcome to the new Minehead & District U3A Forums. Please feel free to browse the posts in the various forums. This set of forums has been created so that members can post a question or an observation – and any other member who has a solution or can direct the enquirer to a source of information may respond with the detail; members can also post comments on specific forums, e.g. to post a book review – or at least reactions to reading a title.
If you want to add a new topic, or reply to an existing topic, then you will need to be a Registered User, and you will need to Log In.
