Cam, Dursley and District u3a

The Cam, Dursley and District branch hold regular, general interest monthly meetings at Dursley Methodist Church on the third Thursday starting at 10.30 a.m. We usually host an invited speaker, preceded by a little bit of business, and followed by tea and biscuits and socialising.

Then of course there are the special interest group meetings. You can find more details about where, what, when and how much by clicking on the event below, or via the relevant group on the "Groups" page.
