Westerham U3A's Welcomers
Our message for new members
We offer a particularly warm welcome to all new members. It is our fervent hope that all members will find enough in our U3A to enable the forging of new friendships, new interests and to find new places to visit and explore, locally; within London, and maybe further afield!
We now have a band of Welcomers at Open Meetings, so if you are new, or need information, please look for their blue and yellow rosettes.
Alternatively, if you would like to contact us by email, you can use the Contact Form page - we will try to get back to you as quickly as we can.

A note about health, safety and insurance
The U3A National Office provides insurance which covers liability of a member for negligence when taking part in a U3A activity, and covers current and paid up members of a U3A for third-party liability insurance. It does NOT cover the negligence of a non-member, so it is important that everyone in the group is a member. Members are responsible for their own health and safety and must satisfy themselves that any U3A activity in which they take part is safe and suitable for them.
