September Plan

29/8/2022

0 Comments

 
Hello MOTO,
Wonderful to see so many of you at the Monday Morning Coffee get togethers. 15 of us for the planning meeting today, so here goes with a summary of those plans………
Monday Coffee
Coffee mornings will continue every Monday at 1030 apart from the first Monday of every month when we will all be at the Holy Trinity Parish Centre for the First Monday Meeting.
Our numbers are now too big for Walnut Grove and we made the decision to move to The Junction Pub. That was a great idea until I found out that they don’t actually open until noon each day.
We talked about alternatives this morning and thought the Colliton Club would fit the bill but then discovered that they are closed on Mondays.
Plan C is The Vivo Lounge in Brewery Square – lots of room and open from 9am. From Monday 12th September onwards, this will be our regular venue. The 12th and 19th will be ‘free’ events but the 26th will be our October planning meeting and will carry a 50p U3A attendance fee.
Brunch
Wednesday 21st June at 11am at Shire Hall.
Please email June to book
Sunday Lunch
Pine Lodge, Sunday 25th at 12.30
Please email me to book 
Skittles
Here’s a pic from August Skittles
(pic removed)
In September we will meet at The Colliton Club at 1030 on Wednesday 28th, have coffee, play some skittles and then have lunch.
Please email Di to book 
Weymouth Trip
Thursday 29th we are having a wander round Weymouth and then a fish and chip lunch. Meet at the beach side entrance of Marks and Spencer at 11am. No need to book.

Other suggestions from the group are as follows :
Saturday 10th September.
St Georges Church have re-started their Lunch Club £4 per head. You don’t need to be a Church Member or be connected to them in any way. 
Ring 265177 – booking essential
Shire Hall
Website is www.shirehalldorset.org
Far too much going on over the autumn to list here – take a look at their Whats On Page for info .
If there’s anything you fancy and would like some company, let me know and I’ll whistle off an email to everyone.
Dorset County Show
This coming weekend Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th September
Website for all the info is www.dorsetcountyshow.co.uk
Heritage Open Days – 9th 18th September
Again, far too much going on to list here but the website is 
https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/visiting/printable-area-lists/town/Dorset

Thinks that’s about it. Please call or email me if you have any questions.
