A variety of day trips and holidays are arranged by several of our members for the benefit of all. More trip organisers are always welcome as are suggestions for new trips. On this page you can see our forthcoming trips and blog posts from previous trips. Just a few of us plan and organise trips for u3a members, we always need more people! Why do we do it? I think it is because we know members enjoy the days out and we like organising them.

  • Hereford Christmas Market

    Sunday 14th December dawned fairly bright, chilly and breezy as 2 coachs set off for Hereford Christmas Market.
