With a different speaker presenting each time, the topics are varied and are intended to be of general and wide interest to all members. The speaker presentation normally lasts for approximately an hour with audience questions and discussions.

The meetings conclude with tea/coffee and biscuits whilst members enjoy a social chat with the speaker, committee members, fellow members and friends.

There is always the opportunity to inform members present on future u3a events and important notices and updates; the Host is on hand to help with this. Some Group Convenors will also be present for discussions with interested new members. The Welcome Group will also be mingling to welcome new members and introduce them to longer-standing members.
