Scam Warning (Posted 07/11/2025)
A number of our members have been tricked by an email scam. These scam emails usually seem to come from someone you know, using the correct email address. Often they initially ask you to confirm that you have received the email. If you reply, you may receive a follow on email asking you to buy gift cards on their behalf.
If you receive an email from someone you know asking you to buy gift cards for them (possibly claiming that they are indisposed for some reason), don't do it. Instead, delete the email and contact them by other means (phone, text/sms, whatsapp, but not by email) and tell them that you have received the email and that it is likely that their email address has been hacked and they need to change their email password.
For further advice re scams and how to spot them see the advice in Public Notices.

Our 'Singing for Fun' group gave a concert at the Methodist church on 2nd July 2025 (Posted 22/07/2025)
Our 'Singing for Fun' group gave a concert at the Methodist church on 2nd July. The programme was 'Songs of the people' and included spiritual songs, sea shanties, songs of protest and worship. We also had a tribute to Ian Nixon, a long time member of our choir, and sang his favourite song, '76 Trombones'! We were pleased to see so many people from u3a; we also invited family and friends and had an audience of nearly 50. In Ian's memory we collected £134.70 for Cancer Research and for Katherine House Hospice £152.03. Thank you to everyone for your support.
If you would like to join our group the next rehearsal is Wednesday 3rd September at the Methodist Church, Brackley at 1.45pm. For more details see the Singing for Fun webpage.
