Visitors are always welcome at our monthly meetings and pay a £2.00 fee. The meeting starts with coffee, socializing and to sign up for theatre visits, outings and groups with the facilitators for the group that interests you. From 11.00 am members can listen to an invited speaker
The events page on the website provides information on meetings and is updated regularly with information on various local events likely to be of interest to members.
Members are typically retired or semi-retired from paid employment and wish to use their skills and experience, passing it on to others or trying some new hobbies and activities themselves.
Everyone who is on the committee runs one of the groups or helps at monthly meetings is a volunteer. Getting involved is a great way to make new friends, be socially active, to know what is happening within the U3A and engage with the wider community.
