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.
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.
To celebrate our new-found freedoms Hawkhurst u3a is having a Picnic on the Moor from 12:30 to 3:00 on Thursday 5th August.
Well actually the Picnic will be on the King George V playing fields, but that doesn’t have the same ring about it does it ? Please bring your own food, drink, chairs and tables, and join us for the picnic. You can sit as near or far as you would like from other people, and wear a mask if you feel more comfortable (but please remove the mask before eating and drinking !) The Pavilion will be open to boil a kettle, the toilets will be available and there will be plenty of room to park on the playing field. There’s no need to book a place, but if you have any queries please contact John Read at jj.read69@gmail.com or on 01580 753535.
The coffee morning for August is the 10th at Planters at 10.00. Everyone should know where Planters is, but in case it's on the A21, between Hurstgreen and Flimwell traffic lights. If you didn't put your name down at next coffee morning and would like to come please let Anne Hayes 01580 753705 or 07751291610 or Jill Williamson 01580 713245 or 07804344059 know as numbers to inform cafe are important. Hope to see you there.
