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.
Please see the link below for details of the programme for our monthly members' meetings. More information on the speakers is below. Also visit our Groups page for the programme of activities and interest groups which are of open to all members.
Please note that Dukeries u3a members will have priority for events, and guests will be invited once members have had a chance to book.

For the U3A Christmas Party 2025, Sue North made this beautiful table decoration in memory of Wendy.
It was raffled off and made another £123 for the John Eastwood Hospice. 😊
Many thanks to all who bought a raffle ticket.
A message from Pam Hardwick our charity coordinator
Mmmmm a good party and it was great to see so many new faces, I hope you were entertained well and enjoyed yourselves.
The sale of bingo and sticky thirteen games came to £125 and the generosity of the winners in donating back their winnings swelled the proceeds to £145.
A member donated £5 and others donated 23p,( that was a funny story which has been repeated much to the amusement of the listeners)
My lovely group of gardeners donated £17 this month and it all added up to £167.23 which I have just transferred to our chosen charity.
So we have smashed our hopeful target of £9,000 👏👏 and have up to today raised £9,150.00.
My thanks go to you all for being so generous in supporting this life saving service and my hopes are that you will not need them to rescue you at any time in the future.
So I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
See you soon
Pam Hardwick
Charity coordinator.

Caribbean Night was 'Irie'
What a colourful night we had at Forest Town arena on July 26th, we were treated to a welcome drink, music from Worksop u3a Steel band and 60s/70s band Spirit.
The dance floor was always heaving, led by our own Marie Louise and we were well fed with a sumptuous buffet
It all finished about 10.45 and we were ready for our beds!
