Meetings at the Village Hall in most months.
We are trying different ways to take a note of every one as quickly as possible so that you don't have to wait long outside in the cold. We need to keep you safe so the walkway between tables is now wider, and there are other changes. Let us know what you think of the new arrangements.
Talks by speakers on special interest subjects.
A new and different subject each month. These talks, held on the first Thursday afternoon of most months, are open to all our members. Entry charge to cover hall hire and speaker is £2-00. For fire and other regulations we need to take note of every one present at these meetings. Please bring your membership card so that the signing-in time can be as quick as possible.
Coffee Mornings are normally held on the third Thursday morning of the month at Cheddar Village Hall from 10:00am to 11:30am. They are open to all and are a good time for potential members to come along for a chat. The cover charge is only £1-00.
We need some help at these monthly meetings to assist with refreshments, laying out chairs etc, on a permanent basis. Please help your u3a and contact Peta Burns to offer a little time, and whatever you can comfortably do. Don't be shy. Join in and make friends as a member of our helper team.
