This Newsletter is produced by Peter this month since Zelah is indisposed. I have produced a copy before so I know what to do. But it would be brilliant if someone in Spire U3A could take over this task. I have quite lot to do already I think.
	Now the editor usually tells you the sort of weather you have just experienced. I will not both with that. Instead I will strive to add content and squeeze it all in. And I hope the content will be of interest to you.
	There is a part about the Geology group to which you most welcome to join. Stuart has clearly planned well ahead. Unlike my groups which get there by the skin of my teeth.
	Last Friday 7th Feb I had precious little idea of what was going to happen. But my ‘students’ came up trumps by showing us their homework. So for instance Roger Ellway had a super 3 minute Audio Visual show about the use of a free program called Fotosketcher. In this he showed the original photograph which the cleverly merged into an image processed in Fotosketcher. The results are quite artistic but it does need the operator to know what that means. We then looked at the Fotosketcher Blog. This has the latest news on this program and many examples of its use.
	Also included is a page about a trip to the British Museum organised by another U3A. Well worth while if only to get a day in London.
	My sister also belongs to Saxmundham U3A and one of her groups is short story writing. So I have included one of her interesting stories. How she does this is beyond me. She has always be enigmatic. She now has an OU Degree even.
