Monthly Meetings

Open meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Victoria Hall, Hartley Wintney. Doors open at 10:00 am when tea, coffee and biscuits are available. We kick off our meetings on time at 10:30, starting with the latest news and a few quick updates about the u3a in general. After that, we’ll hear what the various Groups are planning this month. There is then a short comfort break during which there is an opportunity to book an excursion, or speak to some of the Group Leaders and other members.

The guest speaker starts promptly at 11:00 and usually talks for about an hour (depending on how many questions are asked).

Please bring your membership card to all meetings.

Pete will talk about the history of Blackbushe Airport and about the Viking being restored at Blackbushe Airport. When she operated for British European Airways she was named Vagabond by them. The name has stuck. Vagabond is a 1946, 21-seater passenger aircraft and will be the centre piece of Blackbushe Heritage Trust’s Heritage Centre when it opens.
