Monthly Meetings
There is a monthly open meeting on the first Wednesday of the month where members come together to share the experiences of their groups, find out about events and activities and listen to a presentation on a topic of general interest. Doors open at 1:15pm and the presentation starts at 2pm and lasts for about an hour. We meet at the Bowdon Rugby Club, The Marquee Room , Clay Lane, Timperley, Altrincham, WA15 7AF.
After the presentation, there will be light refreshments and an opportunity to chat to other members, find out more about our u3a and possibly join an Interest Group. Admission to the Monthly Meetings is now free of charge.
If any of the events interest you but you have trouble getting to the event then our Buddy Driver Scheme may be of use. Click here to see details of our Buddy Driver Scheme.
Social Events
We hold regular social events. It is a great way to meet new people as well as to have some fun with existing friends. Examples from 2023 include a Hot Pot Supper and Quiz, Theatre Trips, An Irish Music evening, A Ceilidh, A Music Train to Chester and a Christmas Party.
