About U3A:
1000+ groups! The University of the Third Age (U3A) movement is a unique organisation which provides life-enhancing and life-changing opportunities. Retired and semi-retired people study together, not for qualifications but for its own reward - the sheer joy of discovery! Where to meet us Find out more about Westerham U3A at a Coffee Morning, or at an Open Meeting (non members are invited free of charge). These meetings are held at Westerham Hall, Quebec Avenue, London Road, Westerham TN16 1BG A Great Afternoon Tea Party!
During Covid, some of our activities were put on hold, although Zoom was a big help in keeping our Open Meetings, Coffee Mornings and many of our Interest Groups going. 9 September 2021 was the day for us to celebrate the full reopening of Westerham U3A with an Afternoon Tea Party and almost 120 members came along to once again meet up in person. After a welcoming glass of Prosecco or Elderflower, we sat down to enjoy a great spread of sandwiches and savouries. Then the Ukulele Strummers entertained us with lots of well known and some not so well known songs for us to sing along to. Tina, the Chair, then announced Let Us Eat Cakes and so we did, together with plenty of tea and coffee. After the Raffle Draw, there was still time to renew old acquaintances and make future plans. Thank you members for your support, now let's continue to Learn, Laugh and Live!
