Our Autumn meetings have been well supported as was our visit to Down House the home of Charles Darwin. The Exhibition and the Garden were much enjoyed , even the rain held off until the afternoon!

We were all very sorry to hear of Alex Jacobs passing. Alex had been a most supportive and regular member of our group for many years.

Meetings are held at 2pm on the third Monday of each month at Brinksole House in Kingspit Lane, Petworth,  (unless otherwise stated).  All U3A members are invited: anyone who needs a lift please call John Fitch on 01798 342 321. We aim to have a wide range of topics using the skills of members and those of visiting speakers
