Welcome
Virtual Exhibitions
In addition to members’ Art and
Gardening shows from June and July, we added an exhibition of members’ CRAFT projects at the beginning of August. This
includes the work of our Craft Group and other members who have been busy in their
craft rooms and workshops. This is our final exhibition for the time being,
while at least some of our DU3A activities begin to resume. To access all the current
and recent shows, see ‘Viewing’ further below.

Website Visitors Thank you for visiting our website. Unfortunately, our activities are still frozen or severely restricted by the current Covid-19 rules. But at some stage in the foreseeable future we do hope to get back to our normal activities as described below. Dorridge U3A started in 1990 and we now have 550 members. New members are very welcome and have the opportunity (in normal circumstances) to participate in the interests described below, We hope you find something of interest. If you are new to the Dorridge area, then joining our U3A would be a good way to make friends and discover what goes on in the area. General Meeting Talks  In the foreseeable future, as soon as Coronavirus restrictions allow, we hope to resume our regular talks at General Meetings, usually three per month and covering a wide range of subjects. These normally take place in Dorridge Village Hall on Wednesday or Thursday, at 2.0pm. To see this year's intended programme of talks, click General Meetings. Earlier this year, we enjoyed an excellent and very amusing afternoon listening to David Wood, talking about his 42 years as a master thatcher. Click here to read the full article. Activity Groups We have nearly 40 different interest and activity groups, some of which are so popular that they are split into smaller groups in order to accommodate the number of members who are keen to participate. With the slight easing of Coronavirus rules, one or two groups are having virtual meetings on 'Zoom' and some walking groups are out walking again. To see our list of activity groups and the days they meet, click Activity Groups.
Church Visiting
Choir Entertains Outings As soon as Coronavirus regulations allow, we hope to restart arranged coach trips to places of interest from time to time. Some of Activity Groups also arrange their own specialized visits and outings.
