GENERAL MEETINGS
Monthly meetings are held at Harborne Baptist Church on the first Wednesday in the month at 2.00pm. Each meeting has an invited speaker and we cover a wide range of entertaining subjects throughout the year. This is followed by a short business meeting when the Chairman updates members on national and local u3a news and developments.

Light refreshments are served after the talk and ample time is available for members to socialise and to talk to interest group coordinators. Committee members are always on hand to ensure that potential and new members are made welcome.

LUNCHES
We have a lunch group that meets on the last Friday of every month usually at the Garden House,
Everyone is welcome especially new members.  We meet inside the Garden House at 12.15 pm to 12.30 pm.  Eileen Waddington is our coordinator for this. Please let Eileen know you are coming so that she has some idea of numbers attending. Email Lunch Group

COFFEE MORNINGS

In addition, there are coffee mornings at the Green Man, every two weeks.  These take place on a Monday morning at 10.30 am.  This is an opportunity to to meet other members and chat over a tea or coffee. The coffee mornings are very popular with a regular attendance of 20/25 members. There is no need to let anyone know you are going - just turn up and you will be made very welcome.
