27th January 2019 Open Meeting Report.
Preparations for our stand at today’s open meeting began in November. There then followed a site meeting in the Parador a few days later. After this meeting further arrangements were made to access the Parador lower foyer on Tuesday 26th pm to bring in the “00” gauge baseboard.
It was an early start (08:00) on the 27th at the Parador, to get all of the exhibits in place, also the computers and the lay-out up and running correctly before 10:00.
We were all in demand as a host of questions were fired at us from intrigued U3A members. I think all our throats were very dry by the end of the meeting.
Our stand was impressive and everything ran successfully to after 12:00 when the meeting closed. It was then a case of dismantling and removing all the exhibits and the lay-out baseboard, back to where they came from.
At this point I must thank all of our members who were able to take part in the preparations, running and dismantling of our stand, I think you all did a fantastic job
Special thanks go to my friend Pete who used his large van to transport the baseboard and other items to and from the Parador. Not only did he not charge for fuel or his time but he is not even a U3A member!
I have posted some pictures and a video (in the gallery) of the open meeting for you all to enjoy.
Many Thanks once again,
Peter S.
