| Venue: | Carlton Pentecostal Church |
The General Meeting currently takes place at Carlton Pentecostal Church on the 3rd Thursday of the month. Doors open at 10:00am ready for a 10:30am start. Come along to hear all the latest details about Interest Group activities, sign up for future Events and chat with fellow u3a members. Tea, coffee, water and biscuits are available.
Most months there is a guest speaker and one or more of the Interest Groups put on a display where you can find out more about that group's activities and have a chance to talk to some of the group. Some months, typically June and December, the meeting is more of a social event.
You can see reports from previous General Meetings below,
For an overview of future meetings tap the Calendar button and select General Meeting from the Group drop-down list - or refer to the Next Meetings section below.
- Please note that the lids of the coffee cups at the General Meeting can be recycled in our plastic lids bag at the back of the hall (please no cups, only lids)
- The selling of raffle tickets ends at 11:15am and the results are announced shortly after that. Winners will be able to collect their prize as the coffee area should be clear by then.
