More About Us
Selsey U3A
We are a comparatively new U3A, founded in October 2012, and we are steadily growing into a thriving organisation with many members.
Our activities include monthly Open Meetings and a variety of Special Interest Groups that meet regularly during the month. The Events Manager Jill Sturdey organises the guest speakers for the monthly meeting ensuring their subjects cover a wide variety of topics. In addition to this Jill is also kept very busy organising social events, coach trips, outings to places of interest and fund raising.
Every Open Meeting begins with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee with biscuits, and this is then followed with a short briefing about our latest groups, upcoming news and events including displays of our activities. The Guest Speaker is introduced and gives a talk for about 45mins to 1 hour and the afternoon concludes with the drawing of the Raffle and answers to the quiz.
The meetings provide an excellent opportunity for our members to meet, socialise, to learn and laugh together.
If you are interested in joining the Selsey U3A, please contact the Membership Secretary on 07890269623 or email membershipsecretary@selseyu3a.org who will send you more information and also Membership details If you require.
