I joined u3a after retiring from 18 years with the Science Museum Group as Finance Director and Board of Trustees. I previously held finance roles with Grand Metropolitan (now Diageo) mainly in the food sector over 19 years. I moved to Amersham in 1996 with my husband, Dave, who guides school parties on the WW1 battlefields, and two young children.
My children have now grown up and moved to their own homes and I have been spending time since retirement supporting older relatives and being walked by our springer spaniel. The opportunity of more free time has allowed me to take archaeology, history and art (both appreciating art and painting myself) classes and I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in History and Archaeology from Birkbeck. I also go to museum and art exhibitions and rock concerts and enjoy nature reserves, visiting hill forts and other outdoor prehistoric monuments and travelling in the UK and abroad. I attend a variety of u3a groups. I really appreciate the sense of a community of friends and potential friends within the u3a.
