U3a East Suffolk: Topics to Stimulate Interest And Debate
East Suffolk u3a’s spring programme, which rolls out at four venues across the county, is full of topics to stimulate and interest.
This thriving local members’ organisation welcomes new members, and that includes anyone retired or semi-retired and seeking something new and/or interesting. The proviso is that if you join, you must expect to contribute, either in leading or helping plan meetings or other activities.
East Suffolk u3a has a strong local following and offers the chance to participate in more than 150 activity groups, including discussing the arts, history, science, learning a new foreign language, walking, quizzing, dining out, short breaks and more.
