---o0o---

Meeting at: 3rd Monday each month at a nominated location
See table below for 2024 activities and date changes where needed.

What we do: most months we undertake a group visit with the aim of focussing (pun intended!) on a location, subject and/or technique e.g. nature, architecture, historical sites, etc.

Each month a group member (or two) undertake to select an activity/site and organise the visit. Photographs are then submitted for display on our website.

Each year before Christmas we organise an anonymous Image of the Year non-competitive competition. Firstly, voting within the group and then opening voting up to our whole u3a membership.
