Our monthly meetings, open to all Bristol u3a members, normally take place on the third Tuesday of each month, with an occasional change of day. These are a mixture of "live" meetings, zoom only and "hybrid" meetings.
Live Meetings
We meet at The Foundation, Triodos Bank, on the junction of Deanery Road and St Georges Road.
Doors open at 10.00am. Hot drinks and biscuits are available and there is an opportunity to socialise before a talk given by a guest speaker.
Zoom Meetings
An invitation with the details is sent out to all members in advance of each Monthly Meeting.
Hybrid Meetings
The speaker is not present at The Foundation but you can come along and watch the talk on a screen and socialise with other members. Alternatively you can watch the talk from home via Zoom, in which case there is the opportunity towards the end of the meeting to go into a ‘break out’ room to chat with a few other members.
