We hold a general meeting on the first Wednesday of every month at Fairfield Church in Northwood Hills. Our Architecture, Buildings & Places (ABP) group host a meeting on the third Monday of each month, also at Fairfield Church. There may be exceptions and additions to this norm - please check the list of meetings below for details.
The meetings start at 10:30am and feature a talk that typically lasts about 40 minutes followed by an opportunity to ask questions. Members can then socialise over coffee and biscuits and catch up on all the latest happenings.
They also enable members to keep up to date on our u3a as well as getting information about new interest groups and updates on existing groups. Bookings can also be made for Social Events, Holidays, Outings and other activities as they become available.
Please see below for a list of forthcoming meetings. In addition you can view the talks, tutorials and other events organised by the London Region of u3as at London Region Events and by our national body The Third Age Trust at Third Age Trust Events.
