General Notices

• News of members: If you know of someone who is ill, please let one of the Committee know so that we can arrange to send a card or perhaps have someone make a visit.

• Honorary members: When existing members reach the great age of 90 years, we mark the occasion by sending them a card and making them Honorary members of Bicester u3a.

  • Defibrillator: We are now renting a defibrillator. The rental includes maintenance, support, spares and consumables. It’s quite small, and fits into a small backpack. It is quite simple to operate. Instructions are verbal once activated. It is now permanently located on the wall of the foyer at The Littlebury Hotel, which allows members easy 7-day access. The Littlebury have been given permission to use it if needed. Any u3a member or group leader who wants to access it can do so by presenting a current membership card and completing the user book sited with the unit. The member must get a Littlebury staff signature upon it's return. A small back pack is available at the reception upon request for carrying the unit.
