U3A Meeting

The University of the 3rd Age is meeting again on Tuesday 19th March at the Swan, with a morning session starting at 10.30am and an afternoon session at 1.30pm.
In the morning, the guest speaker will be Elen Phillips, the Curator of Textiles and Costume at St Fagans. She'll be talking about the Wrexham Coverlet.
I've seen the Coverlet! It's the most amazing piece of work, an intricate quilt made by a master tailor from Wrexham in his spare time - it took him ten years to make! It's about a hundred years old now, and anyone with any interest in quilting or patchwork or embroidery would find something to interest them in it.
In the afternoon, the members will be bringing textiles or other objects which have a special meaning to them, to tell those stories.
The Swan provides light lunches between the sessions, and the entrance fee is £3 for members and £5 for non-members.
The U3A often has interesting speakers along - it's a shame I can't usually manage to get along. They have their own website at www.u3ahay.org.uk, and can be contacted via Rodney Mace on 10497 820679.
