General Meetings, Visits and Cinema

U3A membership offers new challenges, new opportunities and new friends. Why not give it a try!

The Third Age is a time of creativity and fulfillment for older people no longer in full time work.

We usually meet on the 1st Friday of the month at St Oswald's Church Hall at 2.30pm.

The meeting is for all current members and those who want to find out more. Why not come along!

Forthcoming meetings are shown below.

N.B. In future, rather than Group Leaders announcing details, we intend to have notice boards for each group where we hope they will display news and information about their activities. Please look out for them.

General Visits

Although a number of Study Groups organise visits to places of specialist interest connected with their subject areas, it is hoped that we may be able to run occasional trips that are of general interest.

JUDITH MARY CANAL TRIP - Friday 3rd Aug
Thank you to the 30 members expressing a wish to go on the trip, there-is still room for 10 more . If you could let me have your money as soon as possible please (in an envelpoe with your name on) Cheques for £13.50 should be made payable to 'Ashbourne & District U3A'.

Films at the Cinebowl, Uttoxeter

CHEADLE (Staffs) U3A organise special showings and are happy for members of other local U3As to join them.

Tickets are normally £3.60 each and are purchased immediately beforehand; but can also be obtained in the days immediately prior to the showing by personally calling at the Cinebowl  -  (after 4 pm on weekdays or 10 am at weekends). Members are requested to arrive at least 15 min. before the start time to ensure a prompt start. You are advised to take your U3A membership card, which may be requested to prove eligibility for attendance.

The Cinebowl is located next to the Tesco store and has some dedicated car parking. Parking is also permitted in the adjacent store car parks although it is advisable to avoid the Tesco car park.
