What's on: diary dates and
forthcoming events
Mansfield U3A's monthly
meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month (except August and December) from 10.00 am to 12.45 pm at:
 The Oakham
Suite,
155 Nottingham Road,
Mansfield NG18 4AE
(Next
to The Talbot Inn).
It has car parking, disabled
access and a sound loop system to help members with impaired hearing.
The
interest/study group leaders always try to be available from 9.45 to
greet their members before the meetings start so this is a good
opportunity to ask about their programme of meetings and events and to
enquire about vacancies in any group that interests you.
Our programme of speakers is here.

individual group programmes or check the event planners below:
The planner is in PDF format to view, download and print
as you wish - if
you have downloaded Adobe Acrobat
Reader or Foxit Reader
first - or already have either.
