NEW DATA PROTECTION ACT
We have produced two documents in connection with the above - The Harrow U3A Data Protection Policy and the Harrow Privacy Policy. These can be viewed on the Management Page of this website.
The Beacon Portal has not yet been set up on this website. We hope to get it working in the very near future.

CHAIRMAN’S SPRING MESSAGE
Well, we’ve nearly finished the GDPR admin. But the Beacon system is still in progress. Our membership secretaries, Kathy Westhead and Frances Howard, work tirelessly, particularly at this time of year dealing with renewals, but we are getting there.
Nationally, Beacon has proved so popular that extra experts have had to be employed. Volunteering is now recognised as a valuable way to keep the brain active, so can I encourage you to look at the item on helping the Citizens’ Advice Bureau [see page 22]. However, “charity begins at home” so first please consider how you could contribute to the running of your own U3A. Every small effort helps and supports our ethos of being self-sustaining. Cue to thank the Group Leaders, without whom we would not function. Please give them all your support.
The Arts Centre has got through the first stage of application for the grant to improve the facilities and we have to wait to hear if it has been successful. We are in discussion with them about the state of the surface outside the lift entrance as it is so uneven. Wheels take a long time to grind, so in the meantime please take extra care.
Again, I’m really pleased to announce several new classes, thanks to the hard work of our Study Group Coordinator, Rhoda Luer. We have two new language groups, Chair Yoga, Free Dance, and Mah-Jong. She has tried very hard to set up a new bridge group but although there are many bridge players, she has not been able to find a leader. Hint, hint!! There will be another New Members’ Meeting in the spring, when all the bright young things, who have recently joined us will be fully inducted into our great organisation that we reckon saves the NHS millions.
There will also be another fun packed AGM on 5th March, and we look forward to seeing you. You will see from the AGM papers, in the centre of the Newsletter and also on the link above, that we need a new Publicity Officer, as this post has been vacant for a considerable period. If you would like to fill this role, or know of a suitable candidate, please complete and submit a Nomination Form.
The committee often receive enquiries about details that are already in the newsletter, so do please read it with care. A great deal of time goes into its production for which we must thank our editor, Stephen Dorff and all the contributors.
