Full details of the events listed below will be posted on this website and circulated to U3A’s The lead- in time will vary as we try to cope with Covid 19 restrictions and still bring you an entertaining and educational calendar. Meanwhile please make a note of the dates in your diary if you are interested in attending.
Members who have booked and paid for events which have been postponed (because of Covid) will be contacted by the organiser as soon as a new date is confirmed and given first refusal for a new booking. Those members who are unable to attend on the new date will be given a credit redeemable indefinitely as payment for any future TVN event(s).
