From The Chair
It seems to me that Christmas is either spent as a
frantic and stressful time coping with and feeding
large gatherings of family and friends or quietly
just with close family or on ones’ own.
However, whatever you got up to or how you
spent your Christmas and New Year I do hope
you had an enjoyable time and are now looking
forward to 2017 and all that it may bring. What
experiences and knowledge will we gain from our
membership of the U3A during the year?
I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2017.

This month our speaker, Andy Bennett, will look at some of the amazing things we see from space,
both looking to Earth and looking out into the Milky Way galaxy and the Universe. Are we really
likely to be alone? What amazing discoveries have national space agencies, including NASA and ESA
(the European Space Agency) made, and what will they be doing in the coming years? The talk also
examines some of the myths and realities of what can be seen from space; can you actually see a car
number plate from a satellite as spy films suggest, and is the Great Wall of China really the only man
made thing you can see from space?
In February Tony Chappell, a representative of the Essex and Herts. Air Ambulance Trust, will talk
to us about the vital work of this charity.
