Transport
The Transport Group is open to all Wendover u3a members who have an interest in transport. The atmosphere is friendly and new members are very welcome. We meet at the Witchell Cricket Pavilion, Wendover on the 3rd Friday of each month at 10am.
There is ample free parking, level access to the Pavilion and toilet facilities. Members pay an annual subscription to cover venue hire plus tea/coffee & biscuits at half time. Each meeting lasts 2 hours.
Subjects at each meeting can include anything with a transport theme. Like most groups, members are encouraged to research and do presentations on subjects of their choice which they are comfortable with. It is appreciated that presenting a subject can be daunting for some but there is always assistance available and help if needed with IT equipment. Members' presentations range in duration from 10 and 20 minute sessions, through to full 90 minute talks.
If you are interested, please pop along for free to one of our meetings and see what the Transport Group is all about. You will be made more than welcome and in addition to an interesting presentation you will get tea/coffee and biscuits. Please note, there are only a few places remaining before this Group is filled.
In addition to the monthly programme below, a visit is planned for a trip to the Oxford Bus Museum during July.
