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 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 monthly meeting is on Monday 24 February 2020. Expert beekeeper, Alison Wakeman, will talk about Awareness of Bees and their importance in the Environment.
‘Take those things away!’ was Alison Wakeman’s initial reaction to bee hives in the garden of a prospective new house. She didn’t buy the house but, ironically, a ‘seed was sown’. Twenty years later Alison manages 16-20 colonies and her experiences and knowledge of bees have inspired her award winning educational programmes for primary schools – Alison’s Bee Class. In the spring and summer months Alison can be found at agricultural and community events with her bee educational stand and her award winning live honey bee observational hive. In addition Alison is not only a popular speaker to adult groups but she has also developed a successful eco-friendly bee by-product business. Alison will tell us all about bees, why they are so important to our environment and how they may help provide an alternative to a planet damaging product.
NB The talk starts around 11.00 in the Assembly Rooms. Coffee is available from 10.30
