The many exciting events coming up will be listed on this page. Please note that events that are group specific, for example, a group's planned special activity, will only appear on that group's page.
All our events are also advertised in our monthly Newsletter, where you will find information about them and application forms.
Coffee mornings give long-standing members, visitors and new members the opportunity to get together for a chat. Non-members are also welcome to come and find out more about us and join TWu3a if they wish. A warm welcome is extended to everyone. Coffee mornings are usually held at the following times but check in events below:

Monthly meetings
Non members are welcome to attend our monthly meetings to find out more about the TWu3a. Monthly meetings are usuallu held on the 3rd Thursday of a month and include a speaker, followed by the opportunity to socialise. Further details about the talks appear in the Newsletters. Meetings are held in the Wells Church. If you are new to TWu3a or the monthly meeting then please make yourself known to the Welcome Team as you sign in.. Most are hybrid meetings so, if members are unable to come along in person, they can attend using Zoom. Please contact our Secretary for a Zoom invitation if you are not already on the list.
