U3A February Speaker – ‘The Merseybeats’

The guest speaker at this month’s meeting of Ruddington and District U3A is singer and guitarist Trevor Leeson. On Monday 19th February 2024 his talk will be on ‘The Merseybeats’ – one of the famous sixties groups of which he was a member.

However,  Trevor actually started in the music business in 1958, thanks to Lonnie Donegan, before also working with other huge stars such as Ken Dodd, Little Richard and the Electric Light Orchestra, so he’ll have plenty of stories to tell. This is certainly a talk not to be missed if you love popular music from that area!

These monthly Monday meetings, run by our local U3A – University of the Third Age, are for “retired and semi-retired people to make new friends, keep active and learn together. Of course it’s not a university in the usual sense. It’s a university of life” says the Ruddington and District U3A.

The Ruddington & District Branch was formed in 2018. Membership for a full year is £20, and you can either join at the meeting, and chat to members, or find out more from the website. The more members there are the more interest groups! You can join in with what takes your fancy, for example gardening, wine tasting, languages, photography, scrabble, painting & drawing, as well as going on visits or doing the monthly quiz. Also find out about being on the committee because new members are usually required, so please get in touch if you’re interested.

The meetings – usually with guest speakers – are held, on the third Monday of the month, for members and visitors, at 2pm in Ruddington Methodist Church.

You can just go along – not forgetting your membership card, please.
