Blackwater u3a is run by its members. If nobody chips in and helps there will be no Blackwater u3a. It will become extinct, dead, gone out of existence it will moult and fall off its perch, It’s as simple as that!

We desperately need a replacement for Sholto, no, not as our party comedian but as minute taker for our committee meetings; he tells me he has been taking the minutes now for almost 6 years and has a big birthday coming up and would like to take a well earned break.  Yes, hard to believe he is going to be 60 but there it is.  He is wanting to hang up his pen and take on something slightly less exciting, he is thinking probably mountain climbing.  After all, it’s very difficult to hold a pen when one is abseiling down a cliff face or hanging on by your fingertips, apart from that the rest of us refused to join him.  So, if you want to tap in to the Fountain of Youth and do something exciting come and take the minutes at our committee meetings! But hurry, there may be a rush, so if you miss that then we also need a Newsletter Publisher - preferably with skills in Microsoft Publisher though training will be given as Roger has been at it even longer than Sholto and is looking forward to joining him on the Cliff face.

And for good measure we could do with a versatile committee member who is interested generally in getting involved at committee level and assisting and filling in as and when needed.

So - Roll up Roll up and join the greatest show in Maldon, well alright then come and join the team at Blackwater, stay young and have fun…
