Motley
Until I started to look for a title for this page I had always thought that "motley" was only an adjective. How wrong I was! As a noun, motley is described as "an incongruous mixture" which seemed a very good fit for this page. You will probably be wondering what incongruous mixture you will be able to find here, so let me explain. During the pandemic lockdowns the homepage contained an "isolationoticeboard" with varied notices, not exactly u3a-related but felt to be of general interest to members, and this page is intended as a replacement for that.
I have to acknowledge that I received some other very appropriate suggestions for a name for this page, including "Sundries", "Potpourri", "Miscellany", "Ragbag" and "Gallimaufry" (yes, the last one is apparently a word!).
