Our branch has continued to grow since its commencement in 2006 and follows the goals of the u3a Trust in seeking to bring people together. Our members are from all walks of life wishing to join those with similar interests and to make new friends. This branch offers varied and interesting monthly speaker meetings as well as an increasing number of interest groups. Most activities take place during the daytime. Our members no longer work full-time - they come together for fun things to do in retirement.
Our speaker meetings are in St Hugh’s Centre, Hensington Road, Woodstock OX20 1JL (map) on the first Thursday of the month. Doors open at 2.15pm for the speaker at 2.30pm. All members are welcome, as well as visitors for the nominal fee of £3. After the invited speaker has given their talk and had questions there is time to mix with other members and have tea/coffee/biscuits which is included with entrance.
Do come along to meet us and find out more.
Our monthly newsletters are sent to all members via email:
