Congratulations to Peter Ashley who ran the Bournemouth Half Marathon on Sunday 6th October in a time of 2 hours 15 mins. Peter raised an amazing £240 for Parkinsons UK. Peter explained “I supported that Charity because my Mum suffered from Parkinsons and it made the last years of her life miserable.”
Pine woods to open country with views across real peat bogs. A warm welcome was given to a lot of the walkers who took a pleasant lunch afterwards at the “Silent Woman Inn”. ( No comment needed !)
As a departure from our usual outings, we thought we would see if there was any interest in a visit to the local Tivoli cinema in Wimborne.
Yes, it was of interest and 32 Ferndown U3A members made the visit on September 30th to see the film of the 2009 National Theatre production of ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ starring James Cordon.
A highly entertaining evening was had by all, ‘extremely funny’ hardly does justice to the howls of laughter. It was clear why Corden won his award on Broadway with this production, a brilliant performance with an outstanding support cast.

Visits & Events
His talk was packed with photos and video clips, many of outstanding events during those years from the very first ITV adverts to Sir Winston Churchill’s funeral and Charles and Dianne’s Wedding, right up to date with recent EuroVision recordings. All of which were like a trip down memory lane for all those present. An excellent start to our new season.”
The Music Appreciation Group met on Thursday 19th September for their first session. ‘Last Night at the Proms’ was the theme for the afternoon. The music choice loosely followed the world-famous ‘Henry Wood Proms’ at the Albert Hall – series of concerts held during the summer months.
We enjoyed various musical pieces in the first half of the session then, after a short tea and coffee break, we entered into the spirit of the ‘last night’ by waving flags and singing with gusto! Everyone enjoyed the session and left with rosy cheeks!
