What the accounts disclose
“Sadly, a few weeks in, Mike became seriously ill and had to resign everything to do with u3a. We are so pleased that, under the watchful and caring eye of his partner, Pamela, he is now – many months later, making slow but good progress”
“Without Simon Pratt not sure if we would have survived this transition year. Not only did he take on the whole concept, introduction and control of Beacon, and trained other committee members in its use, but he was also treasurer for much of the last year, as well as his own role as Membership Secretary.” — page 1
