Cheshunt

Welcome

Welcome to Cheshunt u3a

Now in our fourteenth year, we continue to be a vibrant organisation, to which so many members voluntarily give their time organising activities, arranging meetings and dealing with all the administration requirements to make it run smoothly.

Our membership numbers have remained steady in excess of 700.

We have an extensive range of Group activities ably run by group leaders, with other members stepping forward to act as leaders to new groups.

It is especially pleasing to see our u3a is now offering members several opportunities to join fellow members on coach holidays in the UK.

We continue to participate in a Group Sharing Agreement with several other local u3as which gives members the opportunity to enjoy further activities not usually provided by Cheshunt u3a.

Our monthly talks cover all manner of subjects. We have been entertained by several novelists, a biologist, a wedding toastmaster and a retired policeman. Talks have covered Epping Forest Wildlife, waterways, women in intelligence and the secrets of Bletchley Park.

Every member plays a part in making our u3a a pleasant and vibrant organisation. It is run by the members for the members. This collective spirit will ensure Cheshunt u3a continues to be a place where people come to enjoy activities, make friends and help make it fun for everyone.

According to the Third Age Trust website, nationally there are more than 1,000 u3as with more than 430,000 members. Each u3a is a mutual aid organisation, operationally independent but a member of the Third Age Trust, which requires adherence to the guiding principles of the u3a movement.

Please explore our website.

Feel free to come along to our monthly meeting at the Laura Trott Centre, Windmill Lane, Cheshunt to find out more about us - you are welcome to attend these meetings as a visitor where a Temporary Membership Fee of £2 is charged and a dated receipt will be given. This confers all the advantages of Cheshunt U3A membership, including Insurance for that month only, during which time a group activity can be joined if there is room, on production of the receipt and payment of any group attendance fee. Each month we have a guest speaker - details on our Events Page - as well as information on individual groups, bookstall, refreshments and a raffle.
