The U3A Event

The Annual U3A Event was held at The Spa on Monday.

Our stand was manned by Chris Langley, Jim Hornsby, John Ford and Mike Gold.

Visitors showed considerable interest in our club and we hope that it will produce some new members.

We had a chance to chat with the Mayor of Bridlington, Counc. Angela Walker who kindly agreed to pose for some photographs.

Annual Charity Fund Presentation 2026.

Chairman Jim and Secretary Chris had the pleasant task of presenting the Club’s latest collection effort to The Bridlington Crew of the RNLI at the Lifeboat Station.

They were made very welcome to the Station by Volunteer Bob Taylor and given a brief history of the Boat. The cheque was handed to Bob who stressed the importance of every penny raised to their efforts.

The collection is the result of members giving up their loose change at every Club Meeting and Committee Meetings. This year’s effort raised £250.

Chris Langley

Probus members will be aware that our Secretary had a recent operation to remove a tumour from his brain. After intensive care in Hull he was transferred to Scarborough Hospital to commence his aftercare and physiotherapy. Chris has now been moved to Bridlington Hospital (Waters Ward) for his continuing recovery.

Several members have already visited Chris who is in very good spirits and is recovering well. It is expected that he will remain in Bridlington Hospital for another six weeks or so and we know that he would appreciate visits although at the moment visiting has been suspended due to a covid alert.

Further information about Chris and visiting can be found on this site or on our new Whats App group (details below.
