Members across our network of 10 u3as are invited to a day of learning and interaction and to 'bring a friend' to find out what the u3a has to offer.
Attend a day of speakers, workshops and displays centred around the theme of History. There will be time for networking across our regional u3as and for non-members a chance to learn, enjoy themselves and consider what the u3a could offer them. Membership forms will be available.
Activities will include: History Quiz, Walking Tours, Military Modelling, Pub Games, Pole-Lathe Turning, The Year of the Normans, Rope Making, The Site of the Battle of Hastings, and a VR experience, as well as displays of dolls, fans and other artefacts.
Speakers will give talks on '"Children in Medieval Times", "The History of the Kent & East Sussex Railway" and "A Musicians Life"
