Pilates has started again and we have 2 classes running at 10.30 am and 11.30 am in the Armagh City Hotel gym.

It will cost between £20/25/month depending on the numbers. Classes are run by the in-house instructor Lldy who has a great reputation. If you are keen then let me know ASAP.
We are planning an out-to-lunch event for,
Thursday 2nd February

This will be a 3-course lunch for the incredible price of £12.
UPDATE the places for the upcoming Dungannon lunch are all taken but if you want to be on the reserve list contact
Margaret Oaks at tro111@hotmail.com
Please note, exact timings will be provided later and you will need to arrange transportation to the college.
Sorry to report that there has been insufficient interest in the Aqua Aerobic classes to make them cost-effective at this time. I will periodically ask again to see if the situation changes so stay tuned.
The local history group classes have resumed and are being held in the:-
O Fiaich Library on the third Thursday of each month at 11.30 am.
In conjunction with the Armagh City Hotel, we have a chance to start an u3a Aqua Aerobics class on Thursdays at 10.00 am. We currently have 9 members interested but to keep costs to a minimum need to get as near to the maximum number of 15.
We are hoping to have a 2-week taster session so members can decide if this is for them. If you did not previously show interest but feel you want to try Aqua Aerobics out let me know by replying to the email denu3a@gmail.com and we will get the ball rolling on organising the taster event.
The choir will be starting again next Thursday, 6th October.
Venue – Cathedral Music Hall Number 9 Vicars Hill.
You can park cars in the cathedral grounds!
Day/Time – Every Thursday at 4.00 pm starting on Oct 6th
Come along yourself and try!

The Hill Walking Group started in 2011 when Armagh u3a was first set up. Our walks are varied—-in forest parks, in the hills & mountains & along country roads.
We meet weekly on Thursdays.
Walks are usually 2-4hours.
Members of the group plan and decide on the next walk at the end of each walk. The leader of the walk then posts information to the WhatsApp Group.
Hiking carries risks and participation in hiking or walking activities can result in injury. It is the responsibility of each walker to ensure he/she has the experience and fitness for any walks they undertake; sturdy footwear and waterproof clothing are essential. Denim jeans are not suitable.
Car Sharing can be arranged between members who are happy & comfortable to share & drive. Final decision is with the driver on the day.
All communication for the u3a hill walking group is by WhatsApp
