Waltham Forest U3A holds regular monthly meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at the Methodist Church Hall, Winchester Road, Highams Park, E4 9JP. We start promptly at 2pm, doors are open to members from 1.30pm (please don't enter the hall until then). Access is directly from Winchester Road. It is step-free and buses 212 & W16 stop almost outside the building. We cordially invite visitors to join us at a meeting. If you decide to join us full details can be found on our membership page.
We always need volunteers to propose and run additional interest groups. It's the best way to make new friends. Talk to people wearing blue lanyards at the monthly meeting.
After 10 years as membership secretary, Vicky O'Brien is stepping down, and we need one of our members to volunteer to take over the role. We require someone friendly, organized, able to use a computer and willing to handle money. Vicky will be there to help and support you as necessary until you feel competent to carry the role alone. Please consider volunteering as we cannot function without a membership secretary. For further information talk to Vicky on the membership desk.

We are looking for a couple of people who would be willing to help with setting up the audio/visual equipment at our monthly meetings. We are now using a new P.A. System which is on wheels so is easy to handle and operate. You would need to be able to come along a bit earlier to a monthly meeting to take the equipment out of the cupboard, set it up and put it back again after the meeting. This would help us to cover holidays or illness and to not just reply on one person. Please speak to Trevor for an informal chat at the meeting.
Trial Seating where we set aside a row for newcomers has been discontinued for the present, but please look around and if someone is alone have a few words with them and make them feel welcome. We would love to have some more volunteers join our Meet and Greet team who try their best to make newcomers feel valued. Please speak to Chris Farnes or any member of the Committee for more details.
Go to our GROUPS page for details of the groups run by Members who share skills, knowledge and experience in a varied range of subjects.
