At Hawkhurst U3A, beside our Interest Groups, we also have a full programme of other events.
Monthly Meetings Our monthly speaker programme includes a wide variety of speakers to entertain and stimulate the minds of our members. Meetings, which are always well attended, are held on the first Thursday of each month at 10:00, usually in the British Legion Hall in Hawkhurst. We also use this opportunity to address any U3A business and share Interest Group information over a cup of coffee. Details are listed below.
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 below.

Monthly Meetings
7th November 2019 Tessa Boase - The Woman Who Saved the Birds
For half a century, from the 1870s to the 1920s, women were gripped by a fashion craze that decreed all hats should be heaped with plumage. Campaigning on behalf of the birds was a spirited Victorian woman who has not been remembered by history. Her name was Etta Lemon, her society was the RSPB, and her aim was simple. She was going to stamp out the fashion for feathers in hats. Join social historian Tessa Boase to hear the intriguing untold story of women, birds, hats – and votes.
