Monthly Meetings

The monthly meetings are held in Christ Church (by kind permission we use their premises and state of the art AV kit). We start at 10.45 after coffee in Scout & Guide HQ (Coffee from 9.45am).

At these meetings members from all Groups and Classes can meet together. The speakers and topics are carefully chosen to inform and challenge. Please make every effort to attend. You may well surprise friends and family (especially younger ones) with new things you will be able to talk about.

Monthly meetings are open to anyone - not just U3A members.

The monthly meetings are now recorded in DVD format. Please ask, in advance if possible, to order one. We hope that members unable now to attend will take up this offer perhaps via a friend.
