The main U3A monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at the Pemberton Community Centre, H.E. Bates Way, Rushden, Northants, NN10 9YP  to which we invite guest speakers who cover a wide range of topics; the current programme can be viewed by choosing "Monthly Meetings" on the Menu Bar. The atmosphere is always welcoming and friendly and refreshments are available. 

There are lots of links which may prove to be of interest on our Useful Links page including details of our local MP's.  Also keep an eye on the News page for (hopefully) up-to-date items.

A Happy New year to you all.  I hope you didn’t make too many New Year Resolutions!  I know not many of mine, in the past, have been successful! 
 
On Wednesday 29th February, we are holding another New Members’ Meeting.  This is being held at Rushden Bowls Club, Northampton Road, Higham Ferrers from 10 – 12 a.m.   The last meeting we held for new members was successful as it gave both Group Leaders and new members time to get to know each other and resulted in some new ideas from both sides. 
 
Many Group Leaders attend the monthly meeting when they can which is an opportunity for members and Leaders to meet, but there is a lot to look at and the time soon passes. 
 
Invitations are being sent to those members who are relatively new but if you would like to attend yourself, please let one of the committee know and we will be pleased to see you at that meeting. 
 
At the previous new members’ meeting, ideas for new groups emerged.  Any member can suggest an idea for a new group, in fact our U3A needs new groups to keep it evolving.  So, if you have an idea, let Doreen Riley, our Groups Co-ordinator know either at the meeting or by phone or e-mail and she will be pleased to help new groups get off the ground.
