Registered Charity No. 1168703
We meet at 10.30am on the first Tuesday of every month in Braunton Parish Hall. There will be a charge of £2.00 which includes a raffle, tea/coffee and there will be a speaker on a topic of general interest. Also at our monthly meetings, you can learn more about join one of our interest groups if you would like to. We have a new sponsor for a monthly raffle, thank you to Roger Byrom and his team from L.Clarke & Sons who are donating a £15 Tesco voucher as the monthly prize.
Our interest groups are formed by individuals with a common interest in learning. Foreign languages, quilting, walking and local history are examples of popular groups but there is literally no limit to the number and kind of groups that can be formed. If a group in which you are interested does not exist then it is relatively easy to form one, all that is required is a small number of like minded individuals.
Groups are largely self-managed. They may meet at member's homes, a local hall or even the great outdoors. Informality is the key.
Braunton and District u3a is a member of the Third Age Trust which, amongst other benefits, provides liability insurance for members.
Your only commitment is to abide by the Aims and Guiding Principles of the u3a movement, never do anything to bring the u3a into disrepute, abide by our constitution and respect your fellow members at all times and, of course maintain your membership of Braunton and District u3a.
