The aims of the group are:

  • visit and enjoy our local heritage, as found in historic churches and to understand something of their story - how they came to exist
  • appreciate the works of art they contain - architecture, stained glass, carved woodwork, sculpture, and paintings
  • to explore the area of the four counties which comprise - or lie adjacent to - the North Cotswolds, by visiting these interesting and historic places

For your guidance –
 You must be a member of U3A before regularly joining the group’s activities.

 We meet at the first church mentioned for 10.00 a.m. unless stated otherwise.

 Where possible we travel together and share petrol costs: it is incumbent on passengers to be forthcoming about petrol contributions, based on 45p a mile.

 We make every attempt to arrange for coffee and loos: but if this is not possible, we advise you in an email shortly before the expedition.

 It’s appropriate, always, to leave a donation - perhaps as contribution for refreshments, or invested in guide book or postcard.

 It’s helpful to know by the previous day if you are unable to come.

 We are always pleased to welcome new participants.
