Mansfield U3A Luncheon ClubLuncheon Club

Programme: 2012
Monthly lunches are on the Thursday after each main U3A meeting
Printable Programme

Mansfield U3A Lunch Club provides opportunities to enjoy fine food, fine company and fine value at venues offering plain and simple fare to classic and international cuisine. Vegetarian, gluten-free and diabetic options are always available.

Bookings usually open 3 months in advance on a first-come basis, sometimes with a special discounted menu so that members can pre-order and thus speed service but sometimes the staff take orders from the venue's full a la carte or table d'hote menus during our pre-lunch chat.

Arrangements are made by different members each month and suggestions are always welcome - over lunch, at main meetings or by email/phone to David Ling. (See below.)

Places can be reserved at the Luncheon Club table or by email or phone to David in advance to avoid queuing.


Many members like to share cars in order to reduce costs and several are willing to offer lifts in an informal car-sharing scheme, for which a contribution to the driver of £2 or £4 is made, depending on the distance involved.

We hope there's something here that appeals to you because you will be very welcome!
