Historic Places
A group for people with an interest in Historic Places. Group Leader is Carol Tipper. We will generally meet on the first Friday of the month, but this is subject to change depending on availability of venues.
During the summer months we will visit buildings, mostly those that are only open by appointment or where going as part of a group gets us special treatment.
During the winter months when many properties are closed, it has been suggested we should have some speakers. I would be grateful for any suggestions.
If you are interested in joining or booking a place on any of the scheduled visits please contact Carol via the blue bird on this page.
If you can help Carol in any way, perhaps by writing the monthly trips for the U3A Bulletin, taking photographs or even perhaps thinking about arranging a HP visit for 2024. Please let Carol know.
