Hucknall Rotary Club
entered 2 teams in the Diamond Jubilee Quiz ran by Hucknall’s U3A group. U3A stands for University of the Third Age
and offers its members many interest groups as well as a monthly meeting with
an interesting speaker. U3A would
describe themselves as ‘Creative, leisure and educational opportunities for
semi-retired or retired people.’

Hucknall
Rotary Club supported the group’s inception in 2008 and Rotarian Richard White
was the first Chairman of U3A. We have
maintained close links ever since, supporting each other’s events.
The Quiz
was superbly crafted together by John Ellis and was an enjoyable evening. The one question that no-one knew the answer
to, but caused plenty of groans was in the round of questions themed ‘1952’ the
year Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne.
The
question was “Which vehicle was first seen on English roads in 1952?”
Despite
many guesses, I don’t think anyone came close to the correct answer, which
was (get ready to groan…)
“The TV
License Detector Van.”
As a member of the Hucknall branch of the U3A I am left wondering which day is the Third Day. As a member of The University of the Third AGE please note that the First Age is Schooling, The second Age is Working and The Third Age is retirement. Hence mambership is for those having retired or of an age to have done so.

My apologies Alan, a complete typo I have no idea why I typed Day and not Age. I have edited so that it is correct now.
