Our monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month (except August) in the Wadesmill Suite at Wodson Park Sports and Leisure Centre, Wadesmill Road, Ware, SG12 0UQ.

The doors open at 1.15pm with the talk starting promptly at 1.45pm. After the talk, refreshments are served and there is an opportunity to book an outing, speak to some of the group leaders, etc.

If you are not yet a member of Ware u3a, you are more than welcome to join us at one of the monthly meetings; we make a small charge of £2 which is deducted from the membership fee if you decide to join.
