  • August 2020 Newsletter
    www.u3a.org.uk/aberdeen ! Aberdeen U3A Newsletter August 2020 Message from the Chairman Greetings, fellow U3A members, I hope you are keeping well and finding plenty of things to do during this pandemic. With restrictions slowly lifting, there is hope that we may be able to get together again this coming session, albeit with the appropriate masks, hand sanitisers, and distancing in place. This has been a strange year for all our members. From September till January, all went well, with membership numbers growing and attendance at monthly meetings very healthy. Then in February the threat of COVID-19 started to loom large, leading to lockdown in March. It is a very different world we find ourselves in now compared to this time last year. Like every other aspect of society, Aberdeen U3A is facing difficult challenges arising from the pandemic. Many of the freedoms we have taken for " granted are in jeopardy, and it may take some time to get back to pre-lockdown normal. We are having to adapt to survive, and I would like to thank all the group leaders who have managed to keep their meetings going by remote means. Some are using video conferencing (e.g. Zoom) and others are using emails to communicate. We look forward to the day when we can resume face-to-face meetings. The Annual General Meeting, scheduled for June, was postponed and will now take place on 3rd September, with the committee agreeing to stay in place till then. It has been a busy time for some committee members and volunteers since June, particularly the Secretary, Treasurer, Groups Co-ordinator and Newsletter Editor, adjusting to the restrictions as they were announced.

  • Aberdeen in Bloom
    ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE Communities, Housing and Infrastructure DATE November 1 2016 DIRECTOR Pete Leonard TITLE OF REPORT Aberdeen In Bloom REPORT NUMBER: CHI/16/230 CHECKLIST COMPLETED Yes 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT To advise Committee of the success achieved by Aberdeen in this year’s Beautiful Scotland and Britain In Bloom campaigns. 2. RECOMMENDATION(S) That the Committee: (i) Acknowledges Aberdeen’s awards in this year’s campaigns and gives thanks and congratulations to all those that took part and helped make Aberdeen’s campaign such a successful one. (ii) Agrees that Aberdeen should take part in the 2017 Beautiful Scotland campaign and or Britain In Bloom if asked to take part. (iii) Agrees for Environmental Services to continue to support and develop community partnerships and projects. 3. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Environmental Services will continue to pay the administration fee for all formal In Bloom entries to Beautiful Scotland. The total cost of this is currently less than £1000. Where possible Environmental Services will assist with the funding of community based projects. This will only be undertaken when the project sits on land within the service’s responsibility and will take the form of match funding or grant top ups. There are no further financial implications as a result of this report and all In Bloom work undertaken is within existing budget levels. 4. OTHER IMPLICATIONS Environmental Services staff undertake implementation of all works associated with the In Bloom programme. There are several positive implications from participating in the In Bloom campaigns. In Bloom actively engages with and gets direct participation of Aberdeen’s citizens in the sustainability / environmental agenda in Aberdeen.
