We hold an open members' meeting very month except for May, August and December. This is on the 3rd Monday of the month in the Jubilee Hall, Wellow Road, Ollerton. Doors open at 12.30pm when people can meet together and find out what is going on from group leaders and a display of forthcoming events. After refreshments we welcome a guest speaker presenting a matter of interest to u3a members. March's meeting is an open meeting for members and non members where our group leaders showcase our groups and is also our annual subscription day. May's meeting is our Annual General Meeting and in August members enjoy an indoor picnic. December is our Christmas party and entertainment.
