Display in Severn Square by Alfreton & District u3a

On Saturday 24^th September

This year the u3a nationwide is celebrating 40 years of laughter, learning and meeting new friends. Here in Alfreton we are approaching our 10^th anniversary.

Our members enjoy the u3a so much that we are having gazebos with displays of our Interest Groups in Severn Square, from 10am to 3pm on Saturday 24^th September.

Our Interest Groups are contributing to the day and the Ukulele Group will play several times and hope to recruit a few players. Do come along to see and stay for a chat.

The u3a is aimed at people who, if not yet retired, have some free time in the day to enjoy themselves legally, possibly learn something different and even improve their fitness. Certainly they will have the opportunity to meet a wide range of people and the chance to form new friendships.

Our 24 Interest Groups reflect the current members. New members may have their own enthusiasms and will almost certainly find a few like-minded folk to start a new Group.

We have a monthly meeting on the 2^nd Thursday in the month, at 2pm in the Church Hall next to Christ the King Church along Nottingham Road, Alfreton DE55 7GL. We usually have an interesting speaker, time to chat, and a cup of tea or coffee.
