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.
