The AGM of the Glens and Dalriada u3a was held yesterday. With almost 70 attending, and the sun shinning, it felt like a celebration of another wonderful year of friendship, learning and activity. We thanked those who are moving on from the Committee, and welcomed the new members Arlene Bonnar. Dessie Smyth and Sara Andrews. A special presentation was made to Kathy O'Donnell who has been a Committee Member and our Secretary since the u3a was formed in this area in 2007. Mark Gavin, Chair, gave a glowing introduction, and it wasn't until he mentioned the Christmas Baking demonstration ... with liberal use of brandy ... that Kathy realised he was talking about her! The long standing ovation given by all attending shows the affection and gratitude we all have for Kathy, and the wonderful work she has done. Dominic McNabb, Vice-Chair, presented Kathy with flowers from Jemma Lyons Florist and a gift voucher.
