At Hawkhurst u3a, beside our Interest Groups, we also have a full programme of other events.
Monthly Meetings - NEW LOCATION FOR MONTHLY MEETINGS - THE BAPTIST HALL ON CRANBROOK ROAD It is bigger and brighter than the current hall at the British Legion (now called Hawkhurst Club). There are more parking spaces, a well-fitted kitchen, with a serving hatchway to the main Hall. There are also some armchairs for some of us to sit in - but not to nod off in the middle of a talk! Thursday 7th December Christmas Party at the Hawkhurst Club (not the Baptist Church).
Outings There is also a series of outings which can last just a few hours or a whole day; these include Blue Badge tours, theatre trips, concerts, exhibitions and visits to historic buildings. Details are listed here when an event is planned.
Social Events Of equal importance is the Social side of Hawkhurst u3a. Coffee and Cake mornings and Pub Lunches are regular events, and gatherings such as a Winter Quiz or Summer Garden Party are planned. These social functions will also offer members the opportunity to meet and talk to other members from different Groups. Details are listed below.
