We hold regular monthly meetings at Hockley Community Centre, Westminster Drive, SS5 4XD, on the 3rd Friday of the month between 2.30-4.30p.m. There is NO monthly general meeting in August or December.
At these General Monthly Meetings there will be a presentation by a guest speaker on a wide variety of topics.
At the meeting you will be able to:-
- find the latest interest group news eg- sign up for groups, offer to lead a group, put forward your wishes/ideas for new groups
- book for future social trips and outings
- get the latest information on your u3a
All this in a friendly, sociable atmosphere over tea/coffee with the chance to make new friends and associates and to find out about some of the things going on in and around the area that you may have been missing out on.
For more information on the details of the outings and events go to the Social page
