ASHTEAD
UNIVERSITY OF THE THIRD AGE
Are
you retired, or no longer in full-time employment?
Would you like an
opportunity to meet like-minded people, to pursue your interests and to take up
new ones?
Ashtead U3A is a friendly, informal organisation, offering a
fresh approach to life-long learning.
We organise our own activities,
sharing our skills, knowledge and experiences.
We hold sociable monthly
meetings with an outside speaker
normally on the first Thursday afternoon of
the month, at the Ashtead
Peace Memorial Hall .
Since we were formed in September 2006, we
have gained some 530 local members.
We are now offering Associate Membership
to potential members instead of maintaining a waiting list.
This allows for
participation in all activities except monthly meetings.
Our 50 study
and leisure groups cover a very wide range of subjects including antiques, art
and music, bridge, crafts, current affairs, genealogy, history, languages,
literature, luncheons, philosophy, and walking.
We also organise a varied
programme of social activities and Days Out in London.
Study Days are
mostly held at the Menuhin Hall in Stoke d'Abernon.
See http://u3asites.org.uk/surreyu3anetwork/ for the 2010
programme.
