Chinese Meal 2025
Our Social Calendar
New members to Aylesbury Vale U3A often comment on how friendly we are and our social activities programme tries to justify that claim. While we take the learning aspects seriously, we certainly do not neglect the social side.
Recently it has been decided that, rather than have all the responsibility of organising these, and we hope in time other activities, on a single person the role might be undertaken by a small group of members sharing out the tasks. If you might be prepared to help or would like to know more please use the contact button below.
Scheduled Events
Scheduled events are noted in the seasonal newsletter and shown in detail on the Diary page and link from there.
Regular Events
Coffee mornings
One of our regular activities is a coffee morning where we especially welcome new members. We feel that this is an ideal opportunity for them to meet members of the committee and also have a relaxed and friendly introduction to some of our longer standing members.
Fun Quiz and Supper
We usually hold this in the autumn and the emphasis is on the fun, although the general knowledge of our members never ceases to surprise. Places for this are filled very quickly.
Chinese Meal
In the Spring we often go to the China Brasserie in Fairford Leys for a set Chinese meal.
Christmas Celebrations
Christmas is certainly not neglected. We serve traditional mince pies at our December general meeting and our Christmas Lunch, held at a local venue, has become a great favourite.
Coach Outings
Coach outings are also arranged throughout the year – dates are shown on the Coach Outings page.

Important – Gift Aid
If you are a UK tax payer, you may wish to Gift Aid your U3A subscriptions. This will enable Aylesbury Vale U3A to claim back tax which, otherwise, would go to HMRC, at no extra cost to you. We can then use these monies to keep subscriptions to the minimum required and to improve our programme.
