THORNBURY AND DISTRICT U3A New Members’ Welcome Meeting

THORNBURY AND DISTRICT U3A are holding their next New Members’ Welcome Meeting on Friday, 22 March 2024 from 3:30pm in St. Mary’s Church Hall, Eastbury Road, Thornbury, BS35 1DR and they would welcome anyone who is interested in coming along to find out more about us.  Have you recently retired or reduced your commitments leading up to retirement?

Are you new to the area and looking to make new friends?  Thornbury u3a promotes keeping us mentally and physically engaged and active in an enjoyable and friendly atmosphere.  “Learn, Laugh and Live” is the u3a motto and aims to provide opportunities for members to do so without having to travel too far or enrol in expensive courses.  We have over 1500 members and around 85 different groups meeting at various venues throughout the area, but there is always room for more.

Our Groups mainly meet during the day and interests range from Archaeology to YOYO (You On Your Own).  Some meet weekly, others less often and they include physical activities, wine tasting, lunches out, crafts, board and card games, language lessons, organised visits to gardens and churches, concerts and theatre as well as purely “educational” topics.

Details of all our groups can be found on our website – www.thornburyu3a.org.uk.  Please come along; we would love to meet you.  For further information visit our website or phone our Membership Secretary, Pat Light on 01454 412260 or our Chairman, Roger Steer on 01454 294371.
