Monthly Meeting – 3rd July 2024

We look forward to welcoming members and visitors to this event, which will last from 10.00 am to 12.00 noon in St Mary’s Church, Church Street, Eastwood.  There will be a speaker and refreshments will be served during the break.   It will be a good opportunity to catch up on the latest group news and meet up with other u3a members.

It would be good to invite friends/neighbours to attend so that they can find out what we are all about.
