“A man doesn't grow old because he has lived a certain number of
years. A man grows old when he deserts his ideal. The years may
wrinkle his skin, but deserting his ideal wrinkles his soul.”

Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out

John Wilkinson, our chairman is a truly inspirational man with a positive attitude. Nothing is too much for

joining RAF and worked three years in Gibraltar. On re-
turning joined Derby Telegraph and worked there for
thirty one years. He worked in different departments and
different positions, retired as publicity and promotion manager in 1989.
He joined Louth Motor Club in 1972. He became secretary of motor club in 1975. He became a chair-
man of motor club in 1979 and he has continued to be its chairman for last thirty four years. He was
also secretary for twenty years Association of East Midlands Motor Club for twenty years, from 1980 to
2000. He is a member of society of retired past Rotarians. He was president in 2012-13. He is a vice

Indian cookery is going well. In January meeting we will learn how to cook Biryani. Would you like to join,
contact Anne Mann.
At the last “understanding Memory Course” one of our friend recalled her childhood memory. She
was going to school by bus. Driver would stop and wait to pick her up. If any reason she was not
going to school, her mother would need to go and tell driver, otherwise he would wait. Days have
gone when people showed care with their job. In last thirty years world around has changed. Money
has taken over caring for others. We have forgotten that money is only a commodity. We have put
all our values in it. Caring for others has become a kind of weakness. Do you not think we need to
bring back old values again.
At present we have 187 members renewed their subscription.
We have e mail address of 99 members. We will be sending
this newsletter by e mail. We will print small numbers of copy

We have healthy bacteria in our gut, which helps to digest food. If we eat
oats in breakfast, we would provide nutrition to those healthy bacteria,
which in turn would improve our digestion.
Group leaders are invited to share group activities here with the whole club.
We had four successful four weeks cource on
“understanding Memory” . We think it is very use-
ful learning. We would like every members of U3A
should take opportunity to attend. We would hope
to run fifth course in new year. If you are interest-
ed please let us have your name.
When I was younger, I could remember
anything, whether it had happened or
not; but my faculties are decaying now
and soon I shall be so I cannot remember
any but the things that never hap-
pened. It is sad to go to pieces like this
but we all have to do it. ~Mark Twain
