Memory Course

Feeling forgetful lately? Memory not quite what it used to be? If you are interested in finding out about how memory works in our ‘Third Age’ and how to help maintain existing memory, then you might be interested in attending one of our Memory Courses. The Memory course is now an established feature of the Wetherby U3A calendar and we plan to offer it three times a year. Courses consist of one introductory session followed about a month later by 4 weekly sessions all held at Kirk Deighton Village Hall.
Sessions are planned with an awareness of the sensitivity around memory issues and no-one’s memory weaknesses (or strengths) are ever exposed. The main thrust is to learn about aspects of memory in our ‘third age’ and to help reduce related anxieties in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. If you think you might like to attend, please get in touch.
