Summer Closure of the U3AC Bridge Street Offices and Facilities
Our Bridge Street building is currently undergoing major constructional work and is CLOSED TO ALL MEMBERS AND VISITORS. You can continue to contact staff in the usual way, either by email or telephone.
A note to those OFFICIALLY involved in the Open Day on 1 July: we have a short dispensation from the builders to open the building for the morning of this day, but only for those officially involved and for the Open Day visitors.
We shall inform you in good time when we know the precise date for the completion of this important remedial work and when we shall be allowed to re-open the building.
Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you to everyone who has helped organise one of the many events which are part of the Summer Events Programme. There are over 30 events available. Places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. You may initially request 3 events and places will be confirmed on application. If you request further events (up to a maximum of 6) you will be placed on a holding list and be contacted if the event still has places, about a week before the date.
Participants in courses and activities concluding this term have recently received an email inviting them to complete an online feedback form by 30 June 2025. Tutors and course leaders greatly value this feedback, so your participation would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
We will be holding our Open Day for prospective members on 1 July from 10 am to 1 pm.
This is an important recruiting opportunity at which we showcase the range of courses and activities we offer members and is a chance to meet some existing members and tutors/organisers.
Your help in promoting U3AC is both necessary and appreciated, as we need to recover our membership to pre-pandemic levels. Open Day posters are available to print HERE. We would be grateful if members could share these with their local GP surgeries, village halls, village poster sites, gyms, community centres, libraries, Marketing Suites of new housing developments etc.
Please note, the event is for prospective members only – we regret we will not be accepting membership forms etc for processing at the Bridge Street premises on this day.
