Monthly Meetings

News, Views, Speakers, Friends, New friends, Fun

……and refreshments

Do you wonder what’s going on in Camberley U3A, what groups are in the pipeline, what events /meetings/topics planned for the near future?

Come to the monthly meetings and find out!.

Meet your U3A friends, and their friends.  Hear what goes on in the groups you don’t attend. Plan new activities. Volunteer (new leaders always needed, but so are backroom helpers, just speak to a member of the committee). We too can be part of the Big Society

Widen your horizons – why not pick up a flier and see what’s on offer for a day trip or even a week away?. Or for a travelogue where you can hear of other people’s travels,  dream of following in their footsteps

Hear speakers – amusing, inspiring, amazing, informative

Watch and listen to performances by our members – music, poetry, dance
