Outings
While these have been limited recently due to the pandemic we hope to start a fuller Outings programme in 2022. Outings are organised from time to time by members to places of interest in London and the Home Counties. Destinations are varied and can always be reached by public transport, usually within the Freedom Pass Zone, but occasionally a bit further afield. If you want to arrange a visit, please contact Judith at outingscoord.iu3a@gmail.com Have a look on our Recent News webpage for a brief report of our visit to Audley Retirement Village. Forthcoming Outings are advertised in the Members' Bullletin.
Coffee Mornings


Pub Lunches
iU3A's pub lunches provide an opportunity
for members to meet each other in a social atmosphere. They
take place monthly, around Islington. If you are buying a
lunch the cost is around £10 to £12 with drinks being extra.
If you'd like to come along to one of these please email
Andy Watson here
for more information or to reserve your place.

Details of the Pub Lunch Groups schedule can be found in Beacon or in the Bulletins.
