Cefn Sidan U3A
Yet another success for the Burry Port & Pembrey
U3A ( Cefn Sidan Group).
In 2006 the treasurer of the
Burry Port U3A Val Ives and committee member Raymond McMillan worked together
and applied to the Awards for all
The main aim of the application
was to purchase a couple of Laptop Computers a computer projector and
associated software. This would enable retired members who never used computers
during their working life to be introduced slowly to this new technology.
The other aim was to
purchase a selection of welsh teaching books for the Welsh Group to fulfil the
increased demand by none welsh speakers to learn the language and help its future
survival.
The Awards for all
In 2007 Val Ives and
Raymond McMillan applied for another grant.
This application was for the
following Groups, (a) Walking Group - OS Maps, First Aid Kit, GPS
Handheld, (b) Welsh Group - due to increased demand more Welsh teaching books,,
(c) Theatre Group - money for trips to shows, (d) Local History Group - Trips
to historical sites, (e) Gardening Group -Trips to Garden shows, (f) Computer
Group- due to increased demand in the beginners group and a new advanced group,
additional computers and associated equipment
The Group Leaders and
committee members give all their time free.
The Award for all Wales
awarded a lottery grant of £2737 which will be of tremendous help in improving the
existing groups for which the Burry Port U3A are very grateful and thank
the Awards for all Wales for their support.
