There are two courses on offer
Canva Course
Free online Canva training is being offered by Roger Carter, who runs courses for the national u3a. Canva can be used to create posters, flyers, newsletters, cards, presentations, social-media graphics, videos, edit photos and much more. You can use Canva for free but even better, u3as can apply for a licence to access Canva Pro through its not-for-profit scheme.
The course will be held on Zoom, starting on Thursday 24 September at 10.00am, and will run every Thursday for six weeks. It is open to u3a members across the North West.
If you are interested, email Jacky at letsgomeolsu3a@gmail.com before 12th September as we need a minimum of 20 participants.
An Introduction to Geology
Manchester Geological Association Event
On Saturday September 19th the Manchester Geological Association will be
holding an Introduction to Geology event.
As with the previous event, and a successful course at this year’s NW u3a Summer School, it is aimed at the amateur geologist, both the established amateur and those totally new to the subject.
It will be held at the University of Manchester
Williamson Building, 176 Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9QQ.
There is no charge for the event and there will be complimentary refreshments.
Booking isn't essential but ideally let us know on niallclarke01@gmail.com
so we can get the right number of biscuits.
