UTTOXETER 3RD AGERS ‘OPEN HOUSE’, EVERY WEDNESDAY!

Whether a member, or looking to find out more about Uttoxeter & District u3a, why not drop in for a Tea or Coffee, a biscuit, and to catch up with other members any time between 10am and 11.30pm?

We are always looking for more activities to start-up. If you have a particular skill or interest, please come and see us at ‘Open House’, every Wednesday from 10-11.30am, or contact me Rob Hawkins by clicking on my name, above.

As members will know, we try to put on a ‘Main Event’ every third Wednesday of the month. The Events Group have set out a Calendar of events for you to put in your diary. Future Main Events are:

There are so many groups that have so much to share, it would be great for us to be able to do that.
