U3A newsletter
Dear reader
Dear members

It is now this serious….

11 days have passed since you received the newsletter and request for nominations for the 2023/24 committee and we've had no responses, none at all!

The U3A cannot operate without a committee. As an official association, the U3A can access venues operated by Oliva Ajuntament. Therefore, if any groups wish to continue outside of the U3A, they will need to source and pay for any room hire.

Oliva U3A currently has around 400 members but, for the last few years, we've struggled to manage with a very small committee. I'm sure that we have many members with the experience and skills that would really benefit U3A and enable the Association to continue for many more years to come.

Any member of the current committee, especially the President and Secretary, are willing to speak to anyone wanting to know more about the roles and responsibilities. Contact: secretary@u3aoliva.org for a copy of the role descriptions.

Therefore, please add your nominations to the online form below. Should the link not work, then highlight the link text, copy and paste it into your chosen web browser: https://forms.office.com/e/XAtjA7mFR7
(Contact: secretary@u3aoliva.org should you experience any difficulty accessing or completing the form.)
Alternatively, print out the nomination form here: https://tinyurl.com/3sd27kyt or call-in at the coffee morning on 13th April to speak to any member of the committee to provide your nominations.

We realise that not everyone is experienced in accessing information online, so are attempting to make the nomination process as easy as possible. The deadline for nominations is 5pm on Friday 21st April.

As per the Constitution, and after a maximum three years in-post, the President and Secretary will be standing down, but the Vice President and Treasurer are willing to stand for re-election. Other non-officer, but essential roles required are Membership Secretary and Group Co-ordinator whilst ordinary committee members would be very welcome.

Should you wish to find out more about the commitment required by committee members, then don't hesitate to contact:

President - Barry Purvis: president@u3aoliva.org / +34 623 22 88 24
Secretary - Nancy Benn: secretary@u3aoliva.org / +44 7810 638 531 / +34 633 57 27 91

Note that should we not receive nominations for the officer roles, then Oliva U3A cannot continue. Should this be the case, as per the Constitution, the AGM will instead be a meeting to formally dissolve the organisation.

What more can we say? You are the members and the future of Oliva U3A is in your hands.



Thank you
Kind regards
Nancy
