Lea Valley U3A

 

Leader : Audrey Stanley

We are a group of like minded people who share a common interest in antiques and collectables. We meet every fourth Tuesday in the month from 2 - 4pm at the St Augustines Parish Centre, Broxbourne. We are a very friendly group and welcome new members and visitors. Our current membership is approximately 30.

Due to the cost of speakers we are having to charge an annual fee of £10 plus £2 per meeting, visitors pay £3 per meeting.

We have one or two coach outings a year. on the day of our meeting, visiting houses and gardens and/or visiting a town incorporating a guided tour. In the past we have visited Burghley House and Stamford, Elton Hall near Peterborough, Southwick House near Oundle, Brighton Pavilion, Canterbury, Norwich and Tenterdon. We have also visited Clare and Lavenham in Suffolk to name but a few.

The above pictures are of the group's visit to Southwick Hall, Oundle in May 2009

Each month we try to have a speaker and in the past have had a variety of talks for example on Post Boxes, Blue and White China, Clarice Cliff, Tunbridge Ware, Walking Sticks and many more. Occasionally we hire slides from the U3A Resources Centre and on other occasions members bring their own items for discussion.

We have a Planning Meeting during our January meeting and, from this year, a shared table buffet, having decided to move this from our December meeting.
