Welcome to the Dorridge U3A website
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 something like our normal activities as described below. Dorridge U3A started in 1990 and we now have around 550 members. New members are very welcome and have the opportunity (in normal circumstances) to participate in the activities 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 and around this locality. General Meeting Talks While we are prevented from running our normal General Meetings, which include a talk, we are planning some virtual lecture meetings for members to join, while sitting at home using 'Zoom'. Click General Meetings to find out more.
Before the Corona virus, we normally  held three General Meetings a month, in Dorridge
Village Hall on Wednesdays or Thursdays, at 2.0pm, with a programme of talks covering a wide range of subjects. For example, early 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. One or two groups are having successful 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 our Activity Groups also arrange their own specialized visits and outings.
Outing to Chester Subscription Our annual subscription for 2021 is at the specially reduced rate of £10 - reduced to recognize the forced cancellation of programmes in 2020. Additional payment is usually due if participating in individual activity groups - to cover refreshments and room hire. Who Can Join Dorridge U3A?
