Past Events


  • Christmas party 2025

    Great day at the Dukeries u3a Christmas party @Ollerton Jubilee Hall.. Well done and thank-you to the events team for organising today and The Banjoleers for the wonderful Sing Along entertainment. May we all wish you a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.


  • Edwinstowe Fair 2025

    The free draw attracted 11 entries. Mike drew the winner this afternoon and the lucky new member is lady called Ivy.  The remaining 10 had showed an interest and will be invited to join so we might get 11 new members.


  • Quiz night November 2025

    What a spectacular night the Events team laid on for us all, starting with a delicious meal served by Culinary Delights from Edwinstowe, the Pork loin steaks were extremely tasty and I'm sure the other options were just as delicious.

    It was lovely to see Chris Neighbour there who has just lost his dear wife Wendy 🫂

    After teas and coffees the quiz started, hosted by Roy and Sue Dexter who pitched it just right, it was a very entertaining quiz with 4 rounds of 5 questions then a picture round and then 4 more rounds of 5, each round had a theme and there was a lot of head scratching around the room.

    There were about 15 teams of 4-6 people all with exotic team names and the winning team who led from the start were called 'Highly Strung', as they came from the Tennis group. The team was Jean Parry-Williams, Ann Street, Sue Coulson, John Harris, Jeff Coulson and Paul Webb, who will share the trophy for a year, and they all received a nice goody bag.

    In the interval there was a bottle raffle run by Pam and we all raised around £168 for the Air Ambulance charity

    I'd like to offer a big thankyou to the Events team once again for a fantastic and enjoyable evening, look out for the next events!
