2023 marks our 10th birthday and on 10 August many members enjoyed a special afternoon tea provided by the Courtyard Café, and an anniversary cake specially made by one of our very first committee members.
Entertainment was provided by Colin Hill, Hilary Moore, and Eileen Perryer, with humorous sketches. Chairman Tony Pearson congratulated all members on their support, as it is only because people get involved and help out that the organisation flourishes.
On Thursday 14 September our meeting will take the form of a quiz, featuring teams of six. This proved a successful event last year.
In October, our speaker will be Tony Harris and his subject will be Henry VIII. Tony lived and worked at Hampton Court for two years and played Henry VIII every other day, for the benefit of more than half a million tourists.
Our November talk will be by Ian Walker on The Legacy of the Great War, and on 7 December we will hold our Christmas Lunch at Westerham Golf Club. As the lunch is limited to members only, why not join U3A join now and enjoy the festive fun?
LEARN, LIVE, LAUGH with us at Westerham U3A. We hold an open meeting at Westerham Hall, on the second Thursday of each month, starting at 14:00, and a coffee morning on the first Wednesday of each month at 10:30, also in Westerham Hall, at which we welcome all current members and anyone who would like to join us. You can find all the information you need about our many interest groups, outings and general activities on our website.
Our annual subscription is £20, (£35 for a joint membership) and we levy a fee of £2 at hall meetings to cover hire costs. We welcome new members to join any of our 50+ interest groups from ancestry to yoga.
