Talks and Events 2026/27

Once again, this year we have an interesting and varied programme of speakers for our monthly meetings so hope that there will be something to interest everyone.


All meetings start at 10am for 10.30 on the second Wednesday of the month with refreshments available before the talk starts. So come along early and get a chance to speak to other u3a members.


Remember to bring along your cup and £1 for tea or coffee and biscuits. You are welcome to invite your friends and family along to these meetings and please do spread the word about all that we offer here at East Berwickshire u3a.


The talks will also be available through zoom with a link circulated before the meeting.
