Monthly Meetings

We hold our monthly meetings in the Clarence Hall, Crickhowell on the first Tuesday of every month at 10.00am for coffee with announcements/U3A business matters at 10.30am.

This is followed by a guest speaker. The calendar of future speakers is shown on the right.

Non-members are welcome to attend monthly meetings free of charge.

If you know of someone who could give a talk of interest to our members or, indeed, if you would like to give one yourself, then please contact Barbara Whitticase using the form below.
