Our Monthly Social Meetings are held on the SECOND THURSDAY of the month at St Mary's Church Hall, Goring By Sea at 14:00 (2p.m.) with doors opening at 13.30 p.m.
Following announcements concerning u3a business, invited speakers give a talk [see below] followed by a quiz. We ask that you to register your attendance for the meeting, as it is useful for us to know the number of members attending so seating, refreshments etc. can be arranged.
A contribution of £1 is charged
Tea and coffee are available
Parking is available in Ilex Way and Compton Avenue
Online via Zoom
We also relay the talk as a ZOOM presentation. Look out for a 'Worthing u3a' email at the beginning of each month where you can register for the link to the Zoom talk.
We prefer you to register for the link. However, while Zoom numbers are relatively low, it is unlikely that the Zoom meeting limit will be reached. Therefore if you decide you want to join at the last minute, you can click on the link below or use the Meeting ID and passcode inside the Zoom app. The Zoom meeting will be started shortly before 2pm.
