“The Queen, Shakespeare and Me.”

5th November 2026

“The Queen, Shakespeare and Me.”

Last Thursday, more than 40 members came together for our monthly meeting.

Due to electrical problems at Clapton Community Football Club, we were delighted that the Holly Tree Pub kindly offered us an alternative venue. Members responded very positively, commenting on the warm and friendly welcome from the staff and the cosy, comfortable surroundings.

We were also treated to an afternoon of entertainment by Newham u3a member Carole Shaw, who presented and performed her affectionate musical comedy tribute, “The Queen, Shakespeare and Me.”

It was lovely to see so many members enjoying the afternoon together. The warm hospitality of the Holly Tree Pub and Carole’s performance made for a thoroughly enjoyable meeting. 

A big thank you to everyone who helped make it such a success – we look forward to welcoming everyone again next month back at Clapton for our AGM/Christmas December meeting.
