Monthly Meetings
Our monthly meetings are a great opportunity to come together, hear from an interesting guest speaker and catch up with fellow members. Visitors are very welcome too, so if you’re curious about u3a, why not come along and see what we’re all about?
Meetings are held at Melton Mowbray Baptist Church on the third Thursday of each month. Doors open at 9:30am, giving you time to sign in, get settled and take care of any u3a business before the talk begins at 10:00am.
Guest Speakers
Most months feature a guest speaker, with a couple of special exceptions: our Christmas Social and the Meet the Groups Fair in January.
Details of forthcoming meetings and presentations can be found below.
Stay for a cuppa!
Refreshments are served after the meeting, giving everyone the chance to relax, chat and find out more about what’s happening across our u3a.
Whether you’re already a member or simply interested in finding out more, a warm welcome awaits.

Could you help raise a future guide dog?
Guide Dogs is looking for volunteer Puppy Raisers to welcome a puppy into their home from around 8 weeks old until formal training begins at 12 to 16 months.
You will help a puppy discover everyday sights, sounds, people and places, giving them the confidence to become a life-changing guide dog.
Full training, ongoing support and all puppy-related expenses are provided.
Ideally, you will have time for a young puppy, access to a car and a safe outdoor space.
