Monthly Meetings

Our monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month (2:00 pm for 2:15 pm start) at Central Church, Tor Hill Road, Torquay, TQ2 5RN. The exception to this being when we have a social event, normally August and December, see details below.
Members of other u3as are welcome, on presentation of a current membership card and Visitors are also welcome, for a charge of £1 (refundable if becoming a member at the meeting).
In addition to providing a varied programme of talks, monthly meetings are an ideal opportunity to check for the latest news on the noticeboards and to meet other members including group leaders either before the talk or during refreshments afterwards.

If you wish to comment on a talk or recommend a speaker for a future occasion, please contact our Speaker Finder .

Many thanks to non committee members who provide assistance at our monthly meetings
