MONTHLY MEETINGS restarting!; see latest Newsletter for details of meetings

The Rye branch holds a general meeting for ALL members at the Rye Community Centre in Conduit Street at 2pm on the third Monday of every month, except July & August, with an interesting and varied programme of reports and talks on a wide range of subjects.
Everyone in our Groups and on our Committee is a volunteer and we welcome help in any form ~ it's a great way to get involved and to meet people.

RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS
We have arrangements with our neighbouring u3as, Hastings and Rother u3a and Tenterden u3a whereby our members may join one of their groups if there is spare capacity without having to pay a subscription to join that U3A. They all have groups for interests that we don't cater for but vacancies available to us change over time as their own members must have priority.
Therefore, please use the websites Hastings & Rother u3a; Tenterden u3a; to view group subjects and use the links to the Groups Coordinator (Convenor in Hastings & Rother). They will give a contact email address for the group you are interested in.

TRANSPORT - For SUN meetings etc, if you want to arrange car sharing, taking others or offering seats, please contact John Still
and if you should travel in another member's car please do not forget to offer to assist with that expense
