Welcome
Welcome to Ridgeway u3a serving Watlington, Chalgrove and the surrounding villages.
Here you will find the latest news about membership, regular Speaker Meetings and the Interest Groups that are run by our u3a. We hold a speaker meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 2.30 p.m. in St. Leonard's Church, Prospect Place, Watlington OX49 5AJ, where you can find out what’s going on in the various activity groups and meet up with friends, as well as hear informative and entertaining talks by a variety of speakers. The u3a aims to encourage and enable people who are not in full-time work to continue with their lifelong learning by sharing their knowledge, skills, interests and experience, so if this sounds like you do get in touch.
You do not need any academic qualifications in order to join u3a - and you won't gain any from us either. There are no age limits - you just need to be retired, semi-retired or have some spare time. Click on the link below for an application form.
The Interest Groups are for members only. To become a member please email us or come along to any monthly speaker meeting. You are welcome to try us out and attend as a visitor for a maximum of two meetings; this is at a cost of £4 each time but is refundable when you join. You can join for an annual subscription of just £25.00.
For this annual fee members are offered monthly Speaker Meetings on a variety of interesting topics in an informal atmosphere where they can chat to other members and enjoy free tea and biscuits afterwards. They also have the opportunity to join one of the special Interest Groups or to start another on a different subject. Many are held in members’ houses and are free of charge. Other outings and activities are available for a modest charge. All these details are in the monthly Newsletter and on the website both of which are free to members. There are also about 8 or 10 study days each year organised by the Thames Valley Network of u3as, often held in Benson, as well as events run by the u3a Office, usually but not always in London.
Why not come to the next meeting as a visitor and try us out?
