University of the Third Age - Branston

Went to sign up for the U3A at Branston today. They have a general meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of each month when a guest speaker presents a talk and all members get to chat, catch-up and share a cup of coffee. Unfortunately we got no further than the reception committee.
The committee - consisting of two formidable ladies - caught us before we could be assimilated into the coffee crowd. Plucked from obscurity, we were then subject to a few questions and the ultimate shame i.e. not being allowed to join the group. And it wasn't our age, nor our looks or our clothes. No - the group is so successful that there is a waiting list for "new" people.
So - we're now on said list with three people ahead of us. I did ask the reception committee how long it would take before we became members and she told me - in no uncertain terms - it depended on "natural wastage". Looking around the room it shouldn't take too long!
