About Us
Fetcham U3A, founded in 2002, is geared at those who are no longer in full time employment. We are a very friendly organisation with over four hundred members from a wide area around Fetcham, including Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Dorking, Epsom and Effingham.
Our main activities centre on Interest Groups, about sixty in total, which are hosted in members’ homes, in halls or outdoors.There are Interest Groups ranging from Ukulele to Croquet, from Canasta to Upwords, and a record number of eight groups for both ‘Explore London Walking’ and ‘Wine Appreciation’.
We hold regular Monthly Meetings (fourth Tuesday of every month) featuring a guest speaker. Meetings are held in St Mary’s Church Hall and refreshments are served. Our members enjoy our organised outings and holidays, as well as the opportunity to attend Study Days and Summer School, both organised by the regional and national U3A.
Prospective members are very welcome! Please see Our Programme for details of our Monthly Talks and Events.
We look forward at welcoming you at one of our Monthly Meetings. Committee Members wear badges, so seek one of us out.
Join us and make new friends, sign up for several interest groups, go on outings! You will wonder how you ever found time to work!
