Meetings and Events

We have a Monthly Meeting and talk for all members on the LAST Wednesday of every month (except December) at 2:00 pm (doors open at 1.40pm) in the Civic Centre Entry is £4 for members and visitors, which includes tea, coffee and biscuits before the talk. The talks are intended to be entertaining, insightful and educational – not necessarily all at the same time! Do come along and meet other U3A members, make new friends, and perhaps learn something new?

If you have any suggestions for a future topic, or are an organisation or external speaker who would be interested in talking to us - please e-mail our Speaker Secretary.

We also cover any new groups, or announcements, and you will be able to meet and chat with Group Leaders and Committee members. The nearest Parking is directly outside (Western Car Par) and can be paid for either by coins or via the MiPermit app.
