New Year Lunch

After many cancellations and postponements the New Year lunch finally look place in the Village Hall on 26th January. Our celebration lunch was a great success where, in spite of so much on in Ashtead that week, over 60 members enjoyed an excellent meal and the chance to mix and chat, mask free, in a relaxed atmosphere.

Ashtead U3A Art Group Evening Exhibition

On the 6th November 2019 The Ashtead U3A presented its 3rd Art Exhibition. In the past, we have exhibited our paintings for a month In The Leatherhead Theatre, but this year, we changed tack and arranged a one-night Exhibition in The Ralli Room in the Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall.

Also invited were the two U3A Craft Groups and the U3A Photographic Group, both of which displayed some amazing talents.

We in the Art Group displayed a total of 128 paintings, the most ever, and all the paintings were of a superior quality ranging in subject from landscapes, animals, birds, popular cartoons and flowers. We even managed to sell some pictures!!!

The Photography Group presented a rolling slide show of members pictures on a TV screen.

We laid on copious amounts of finger food and canapes and wine and soft drinks were also available. We had an immense response from our U3A members, plus friends, family members and the general public. It was deemed a great success by all who attended. Hopefully we will hold another exhibition within the next two years.
