Welcome to Aylesbury Vale U3A website. Here you will find the latest news about membership, regular meetings and the groups that are run from our U3A. We have a regular monthly meeting on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at The Bowls Centre at Stoke Mandeville Stadium where we can find out what’s going on in the various groups, meet up with friends, as well as hear informative and entertaining talks by a variety of speakers. The 3rd Tuesday of alternate months we have a coffee morning at the Watermead Inn where we can get together in a more informal way and chat over cups of tea or coffee. We pride ourselves on being a very friendly group of people who like to come together to learn something new whilst making new friends and learning new skills. So if this sounds like you do get in touch.

It is always better to watch these on a large screen TV.  Most ‘Smart’ TVs will have the option to view YouTube but you might need to load an extra app.  Probably like me you will have to ask one of the younger generation to help you !

IMPORTANT – Suspension of ALL activities

by

Following the Government’s official statement on 16th March we the Committee feel that we have no option but to suspend all our U3A meetings, trips, outings, functions including Group Meetings until further notice.  

We trust you will follow all the guidelines to avoid getting this virus. If any member is unfortunate and does get the virus please inform the Chairman, Sheila Satterthwaite  because we have to notify Head Office. Please take care and keep well.

Dan wishes to let you know that all coach trips for this year have been cancelled and will be rescheduled for 2021

All Thames Valley Network Day Courses are postponed. Any cheques sent with applications will be shredded

We hope that we will be able to keep in touch with you and keep you up to date by this website or email. 

Sadly there are people out there prepared to take advantage of the situation so Thames Valley Police have warned about strangers calling offering to do shopping, bogus on-line shopping sites and offers of coronavirus self testing kits.(no legitimate company is yet offering these).

The Third Age Trust is providing up to date information on their website and in their National Newsletter
