We usually meet twice a month except during Christmas and Summer holidays. Meeting dates are shown in the list of events above. If you are logged in you can see more information by simply clicking on the item that interests you.

Venues

Our meetings take place at two different venues:

Wednesday meetings are held at Marlborough Road Methodist Church, Marlborough Rd, St Albans AL1 3XQ. This Bus Routes web page allows you to find routes and timetables for buses that stop in St Peter’s Street and Victoria Street. There is car parking at the Maltings Public Car Park, adjacent to the church.

The venue for Tuesday meetings is under review.

Meetings open for registration at 2:00 pm (at Marlborough Roadi in the church hall to the right-hand side of the lobby). Meetings start at 2:30pm when we sit down for announcements followed by a talk of about 45 minutes by a Guest Speaker. At Marlborough Rd the church has a T-Loop system for those who use hearing aids.

At each venue, Meeters and Greeters will welcome you and direct you to the registration area where you will find stalls with information about Groups, Trips, Events and u3a notices as well as a free Bookstall.  If you would like to be a Meeter and Greeter or to help with the Bookstall, please contact  Gill Dear.

At Marlborough Road, tea and coffee are normally served in the church hall after the talk. If you could help, please  contact our Refreshments Coordinator, Charlotte Thorp, who organises the refreshments rota.

Talks

Members attending the talks are encouraged to give feedback to the Speaker Secretary, who organises the talks, or to any member of the Executive Committee.  Suggestions for future speakers - including u3a members who would be interested in giving a talk on their 'specialist subject' - are also very welcome.

Membership Cards

Please remember to bring your membership card with you to the meetings as it saves time at registration. Also, please fill in the reverse with your Emergency Contact and Medical/Allergy details as these could prove useful to a paramedic called to an accident or a person taken ill. For the same reasons, please carry your card when attending every u3a activity.
