Dear <<First Name>>
Thanks so much for signing up to receive festival updates from us. It has been a really exciting few months since we got this idea off the ground and you’ll probably know that members have offered all kinds of activities, talks, sporting events, musical entertainment and workshops which are going to make this first u3a national festival in York something to remember.
There’s only one area we haven’t pushed for so far and that’s music groups…..if your u3a has singers or musicians who would like to come we have space for more so please get in touch by emailing festival@u3a.org.uk.
As you know the event is being held at the University of York and lots of members are keen to book already. We haven’t quite got the booking system in place just yet. There are a couple of things to get sorted and as soon as this is ready, we will let you know.
At the moment this is where we are with accommodation:
- Rooms on campus will be £54 pp for bed and breakfast. They are all ensuite single rooms with tea and coffee making. There are no larger rooms available on site. Some are accessible on the ground floor.
- For those who wish to book for more than one person I am compiling a list of local self catering, B&B, campsites and hotels. They will be as close to the campus as possible and although we cannot recommend them, they will all be from the York Tourist Information list.
The other thing we are building is the programme of events, and it’s quite a job! It’ll take a while so in the meantime we have a plan to get bookings underway in the next couple of weeks (ish), and we’ll follow that with the finished programme so that actual slots can be booked round about 6 months before the festival itself. I’d like to give you a better flavour of that programme in our next Festival Update.

Day 1, Thursday 18 July - £25 including buffet supper

Full festival to include all 3 days and buffet on Day 1 - £35

This is the basic information that everyone is interested in and it should give you a good idea of what costs are involved.
The university restaurant will be open beside the Exhibition Centre and will be available solely to our members. It’s a varied offering which will cater for all diets and at very reasonable prices.
There is a dedicated Festival webpage page which you can go to and find all the information we have. If you have any other questions, please email festival@u3a.org.uk and we’ll get back to you.
With very best wishes
Margaret and the Festival Working Party; Allan, Angie, Ann, Julie, Karen, Michaela, Pat and Sandi
