Thame & District u3a normally meets twice a month (on the first and third Wednesday at Christchurch and Thame Snooker Club respectively) from 10.00 am until midday. The location of each meeting is shown against individual entries below. We start with remarks from our chair and include any welfare matters followed by a visiting speaker for usually an hour. Any updates on group or other events are also provided. Tea or coffee is then available for members providing another opportunity to meet socially.
These meetings are also available through Zoom for those who cannot attend in person. A link is sent in advance.
