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 45+ 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://www.fetchamu3a.org.uk/studydays.htm for the 2009 programme. 

NEXT MONTHLY MEETING: Thursday 2nd July 2009  at 14.30 
Our guest speaker is Paul Whittle, who returns to give us an illustrated talk on "Toy Train to the Clouds" - one of the world's great railway journeys climbing 7000 feet up to Darjeeling, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Admission for visitors only by prior arrangement £1.  Refreshments 40p
