Summer School at The Hawkhills, Easingwold, 22nd to 25th July
Following almost straight on from the York Festival, it was a wonder that anyone had any energy left for the YAHR Summer School, but we needn’t have worried as the sun shone throughout and the capacity number of participants all had a wonderful time.
As usual, the accommodation at the Hawkhills, near Easingwold was excellent , up to country house hotel standards with lovely gardens and woodland grounds and such good catering that folk were soon commenting about next week’s diets.
There was a good range of subjects to study – from the Iron Age to Cosmology, from the Scottish Colourists to Greek Philosophy, from Beginners Spanish to Improvised Drama; with others to choose from, the range of topics certainly provided something for everyone.
If you have never been to a Summer School – imagine a gathering of u3a folk from across the country (not all Yorkshire folk) where we study together, meet new people over mealtimes and have evening social events as well.
This year, as usual, the YAHR Summer School was booked up well before the closing date for bookings, so if you would like to give it a try in 2025, remember to get in early to make a booking so you are not disappointed. If interested, I am happy to answer any questions you may have before booking (events@yahru3a.uk)

Interest Groups Matter Workshop
This workshop should be of interest to ALL u3a Trustees and other interested volunteers in the Yorkshire and Humber Region. Interest Groups are the life-blood of our u3as, and the reason most folk join us. What are the issues involved in providing an inspiring menu of Groups, supporting the leaders and getting new groups started? An opportunity to share ideas and perhaps provide solutions and resolve some issues for you.
