Study Groups
Members meet regularly in their chosen study groups to discuss and learn topics of mutual interest. Each group has a coordinator who is a point of contact and deals with the practical running of the group. All members of the group share responsibility for the learning that takes place.
Go to Study Groups to find out more.
Monthly Meetings
These are open to all members and are held in Ludlow Assembly Rooms on the last Mondays of most months (at 10.00 for 10.30). They provide an opportunity for all members to socialise over a cup of coffee and also to meet members of the U3A in Ludlow committee.
The next meeting is on Monday 26 November, when Philip Duckworth will talk about A Career in Antiques. Philip worked for the London based auction houses, Philips and Christie’s for over 30 years ending his career as a director, head of department and auctioneer for Christie's. Starting as a trainee with Philips he soon found his passion in “antique” furniture and his experience has given him the opportunity to develop his understanding of furniture and its values. He has travelled widely in Europe and has contributed to many art magazines and books and has been a lecturer, tutor and mentor to trainees in the field. Philip’s talk will show a personal journey which demonstrates the training, daily routines and workings within the world of auction house..
