Our u3a provides many opportunities for learning. But we also have a vibrant social dimension to our activities. They bring together people from across a wide range of special interests, in a convivial atmosphere, simply to enjoy themselves. These excellent events are mostly organised by the Social Subcommittee.
There are usually committee members at the weekly Horizons meetings from whom you can get more details on their events and book places or buy tickets.
