The venue

Meetings of the Solent U3A are held in the main hall of the Wallington Village Hall in Broadcut, Fareham PO16 8ST.

As you drive along Wallington Way (A32) you will need to turn off at the roundabout (at the bottom of the slope) along the road leading to Sainsburys. At the next roundabout, after only about 25 metres, continue straight ahead into Broadcut. Passing PureGym on your left and opposite the Fareham Car Centre, again on your left, you will find the Wallington Village Hall with its large car park immediately on your right. In the map below you will see the A32 roundabout near the bottom left and the hall near the top right of the picture. Click on the map to enlarge it.

Wallington Village Hall

The hall

Entering the main door of the building in the centre at the front, the doors to the left lead straight into the Main Hall.

This measures about 13m by 10m, with one central and two side aisles, and can seat about 120 people. There is a large projection screen in the centre at the front.

Equipment available

Using the ceiling-mounted projector we can display PowerPoint presentations from our laptop and can show any such that you might wish to bring with you on a memory stick or to send us in advance as an e-mail attachment. We also have a radio microphone which you can either leave in its stand or hold in your hand. Recently we have in addition a neck strap which can hold the microphone and leave your hands completely free for doing other things.

To confirm your projection requirements, please discuss with the Speaker Organiser who will have been in contact with you.
