Monthly meetings with a guest speaker are held on the 3rd Monday of the month at the Larruperz Centre, Grammar School Close, Ross-on-Wye, HR9 7QD starting at 2.30 pm. Visitors will be made very welcome at our Monthly Meetings and are asked to give a voluntary donation of £2 (unless they join).

There is also a book stall, where books are recycled for a small cost.

After the speaker, there is an opportunity to ask questions and catch up with friends. Please see below for a list of the Speakers.

Apart from the monthly meetings, there are periodic outings to places of local interest or historic buildings. Details of these visits are announced at the monthly meetings. There is an additional cost for these outings. Please check the event entry below for information. More details will be available when known for all trips.

u3a Outings: Please note that no refunds will be given if cancellation is within 14 days of the outing unless you can find someone to take your place or there is no one on the waiting list.
