Currently, Ellesmere Port U3A has a membership of around 150 and we have a variety of interest groups providing activities including bowls, scrabble, science, local history and several card groups. There are also a dining group and a brunch club, each meet monthly.
We have a Members Meeting on the 1st Thursday of the month at 2pm in The Groves Sports and Social Club, Chester Rd, Whitby, doors open 1.30pm. There we have a guest speaker followed by refreshments and an opportunity to socialise with other members. Admission is £2.00, if you are not a member but are interested and would like to know more about us you can come along to two members meetings before committing yourself.
Our interest groups meet in various locations and there you can use your skills and experience to help others and benefit from the skills and experience of other group members. The important thing is that in doing so you enjoy yourself, have fun and make new friends.
Our annual subscription for 2023/24 is £15 and joining an interest group costs nothing or may involve a modest contribution. Do come along to one of our Members' Meetings to find out what we are about.
PLEASE NOTE THAT SPEAKERS FOR THE GENERAL MEETINGS ARE LISTED ON THE EVENTS PAGE.
