Open Meetings 

Open meetings are held in the afternoon on the fourth Tuesday of each month.  The meetings are held in the Methodist Church, Selby Lane.  

The doors open at 2:00 pm for members to meet, have refreshments, look at the notice boards and visit the Group tables.

The meetings start at 2:30 pm and usually involve a speaker together with some discussion about new U3A activities.

Keyworth Methodist Church have a For Sale and Wanted Board in the Schoolroom.    They are very happy for (and would encourage) U3A members to use it.
