Shepway & District

Events

We run a number of social events during the year that are open to all members of Shepway u3a, not just to those who belong to the relevant Activity Group.

Generally you must be a member of the u3a in order to come along to any event but in the special case of the Coffee Mornings at all locations, the events are also open to guests. This applies particularly to those who are thinking about joining the Shepway u3a and wish to find out more about what is on offer. 

For further information about any Event and to reserve places where booking is required, send a message to the Organiser whose name appears on the page for that Event. Just click on the Organiser's name and a contact form will appear where you can type in your message, which will be sent via email to the Organiser.

All of our trips and outings have been outsourced to Real Socialising (www.realsocialising.co.uk). As these are not specifically U3A events now, your friends and partners who are not members will also be able to go.
