Open Meetings

For all Edinburgh U3A members and anyone in their “third age” who is interested in finding out more about EU3A, an Open Meeting takes place on the third Wednesday of most months from 2.30 to 4.00 pm at the Main Hall in the Epworth Halls of the Methodist Church, 25 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh EH8 9BX. The Square is almost opposite Surgeons Hall, and is served by many buses.

Details of talks and speakers are listed below and can also be found printed on membership cards. Attendees are charged a nominal £1 to go towards covering the costs.
