Group information on show at OMs
Government advice is that for the time being everyone should stop non-essential contact with others and adopt social distancing. This particularly applies to people in the ‘at risk category’ and those over the age of 70 should take particular care.
In the light of this advice, the Committee has decided to cancel use of Westerham Hall until the end of June 2020 - for both Open Meetings and Interest and Study Group meetings. Also face-to-face scheduled Interest and Study Group meetings should be cancelled. Read advice from Head Office on ways of continuing through the use of the internet and telephone. This website offers free conference calling. |
How to join a group
You can register your interest at OMs but please remember it is then up to you to contact the Group Leader - their contact details are available at the study group display area at OMs.
Groups that are full sometimes have a waiting list, so either a new group can be formed when there is enough interest, or those at the top of the list will be asked to join when spaces become available.

The Westerham U3A Strummers ...
A 22-strong ukulele group meets weekly, singing and playing a variety of traditional and popular folk, country and popular songs. There is a short tuition session followed by strumming and singing.
This year they have performed at U3A functions, local musical festivals, birthdays, a coffee bar, a retirement home … and at a wake.
The group has produced five songbooks with 150 numbers - it meets weekly at Westerham Hall.

Etiquette!
Please do not join a study group that has a limited capacity unless you are able to attend most meetings. If you cannot attend on two/three consecutive occasions, please keep in touch with your Group Leader so they know that you still wish to be a member. Group Leaders may ask inactive members to make way for those on the waiting list.
