CORONAVIRUS ADVICE
Dear Harrow U3A Members
As you are doubtless aware, the Prime Minister together with the Chief Medical Officer and the UK Scientific Adviser have made recommendations about the situation at present. We all have to be vigilant at this time, using common sense and being calm about the situation as well as having a duty of care to our members.
Please use the advice given in order to slow down the spread of the viral infection together with recommendation that the following procedures are carried out both at home and in Harrow U3A meetings.
If you have a sore throat, cold or cough, or lost your sense of taste or smell, much as we would like to see you at our meetings, please follow the Government's shielding instructions.
Regular hand washing is recommended, using warm water and soap for twenty seconds, and people should avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth or shaking hands. Individuals should use a tissue to cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, dispose of the tissue promptly and then wash hands.
Harrow Arts Centre are following the advice from Public Health and the NHS to reduce the spread of germs. They have stepped up cleaning, with door handles, toilets and handrails being disinfected on a daily basis.
Best wishes
Mike Allen
Chairman Harrow U3A

National U3A Day June 3rd
postponed to 1 October 2020
Dear Harrow members, you might know that the above date is set for a nationwide awareness day.
Harrow would like to mark the day with significant event(s) and need to start thinking and organising now.
It would be really good to make an impact in the community. So if you have ideas for activities, displays or any other ways to raise our profile please let someone on the committee hear them.
Individuals would not be expected to organise what they suggest but we don't want the day to just come from the committee. This is a members opportunity!!!!
The committee will support and fund good ideas but we want your thoughts and enthusiasm.
