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 540 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.
