KN u3a Chair, Vicki Hone and KN u3a IG Coordinator,  Pauline George,  attended a Regional u3a session on Recruitment and Retention at Balsall Common on March 13 2024.   

Jean Jackson  (walking round)  organised the event as part of her new Regional Representative role.  It was a really useful and informative session.   We hope we can implement some of the suggestions to aid our KN u3a Recruitment and Retention in the near future.
