Joining a Network Zoom Meeting
- A Zoom link will be sent to all Network Contacts a few days before the meeting.
- Please log onto Zoom up to 15 minutes before the start time to resolve any connection problems so meetings can start promptly at the stated tome.
- Please change your Zoom name to include your full name and u3a, eg Jim Smith Chepstow, so you can be identified by everyone and for the minutes. You can generally do this by clicking on your name or the three dots in the top corner of your picture and looking for the rename option. If this doesn't work, the Zoom Host can amend it for you.
The SWN Committee
- The SWN Committee is made up of Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer plus a representative from each u3a in the Network.
- Each u3a can send up to 3 representatives to the SWN meeting but only one can vote

- The Network cannot tell u3as what to do.
- We can organise Workshops that are run by u3a Office and are free.
- We can organise Study Days which are run by SWN and have to be self-financing.
- We can act as a pressure body through the Welsh Trustee to stimulate action from u3a Office.
