Welcome
Welcome to Bearsted & District u3a
BEARSTED & DISTRICT U3A
We are a friendly organisation, welcoming individuals from Bearsted and surrounding areas. We held our first meeting in 2013 and this year have enrolled over 250 members.
The U3A movement is a unique and exciting organisation which provides, through individual U3As all around the country the opportunity for retired and semi-retired people to come together to socialise and learn together, not for qualifications, but for its own reward; the sheer joy of discovery!
We are a self-help community, where members share their knowledge, experience, skills and life experiences.
We all help with the activities and administration of our u3a with an annually elected committee overseeing our affairs.
MONTHLY MEETINGS
We meet at 2:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month at Detling Village Hall, Pilgrim's Way, Detling, Kent, ME14 3EY. For information on how to get there and more details of the hall, please click Detling Village Hall.
SPEAKERS
We have excellent speakers each month. We have a full programme arranged for the coming year and you can find out what we have on offer by browsing our Programme Leaflet.
GROUPS
We have over 40 Special Interest Groups that you can find more about on the GROUPS Page. Whenever a group is full we start up a waiting list for another!
