Chess Valley U3A
In 2010 the Photographic Group of Chess Valley U3A held an exhibition in the Pavilion Gallery at Chenies Manor on the River Chess and its environs. It later transferred to the Elgiva Theatre.
This year some members of the group have decided that their project will be to photograph Lowndes Park and surrounding area through the year. You are welcome to look at the portfolios of photos below.
Chess Valley U3A was formed in October 2008 and already has approximately 450 members and some 30 activity groups. It has received support from Chiltern District Council and the National Lottery.
Each activity group meets once or twice a month, and programmes are decided by the members of the group. General meetings, with an invited speaker, are held on the second Thursday of each month, in The Broadway Baptist Church, Broadway, Chesham.
A monthly Newsletter is distributed to all members giving full details of each of the groups activities as well as reviews of past events and other items of interest. For further information please go to www.chessvalley-u3a.org.uk
News & Events
The Friends are moving the weekend working party to the second Sunday of the month and the next one will be on Sunday 12 February. We hope to be pruning roses, weeding the beds and then take a look to see if the snowdrops we have planted over the last few years are coming through. We meet at 10am in the Archena Garden which is next to the Temperance Hall in Church Street.
The Friends are hoping to plant around 30 native tree saplings in the Wildlife Area at their working party on Sunday 8 January. They have been donated by the 10th Chesham Guides and were given to them by the Woodland Trust. The varieties of tree include Holly, Wild Rose, Hawthron, Hazel and Dogwood.
We would like to thank Helena Mills who raised £570 for the Friends of Lowndes Park in memory of her good friend Ben Cargill. Over the course of the last summer she took part in not one but three triathlons. Please click on the title for more details and picture.
