The Next Open Meeting 17 February 2020 Andy Thomas – ‘Crop Circles’. Free to all our U3A members. Bowling Club, Abbey Lane. Doors open 2:15 pm – talk starts about 2.45pm.
Mainly for Men Talk – Monday 3rd Feb – Open to all
To start the year off we have Malcolm White, ex- town clerk, talking about “Saffron Walden – then and now”, with slides. As he is very knowledgeable about the area, it should be interesting for both long-term residents and more recent arrivals to the town.
As usual we meet at the Bowls club in Abbey Lane at 2.15 for 2.30pm start.
All U3A members are welcome and the fee of £3 should cover our costs.
Put Monday 3rd February in your new diary now in case you forget!
I look forward to seeing you all there,
Simon
