Sharon has a new project: Now some of you lovely ladies, went on a flower arranging workshop a year back, which I hope you remembered some of those skills, given by Brenda. I am looking at setting up a Floral & Art exhibition within the u3a. It is very early stages at the moment, as I’m trying to see if there is any funding out there for us to hold this project, & also finding a venue. We have two aspects, that can contribute to this, (flowers & art) but that does not mean it’s just those two groups, it is open to everyone within our u3a, . It would be a wonderful exercise for us to do, & show what Cardigan u3a are made of. I am looking for a summer exhibition, as we will have lots of tourists around then, so no immediate panic! I will keep you informed, but if anyone has any suggestions of a venue, please let me know. Remember, parking has to be considered, is it FREE, & how many spaces available.
