Horizons/Weekly Meetings
Horizons is held on a Thursday morning at the Scout & Guide HQ, Long Lane, Aughton just next to Christ Church. 
At any Horizon meeting you can have a coffee, meet group leaders, make reservations for theatre and concert visits, garden visits, dining, walks, holidays and keep in touch with the latest news.
Horizon meeting are from 9.45 till 11.30 apart from the week when there is a speaker. We use each room with subject group leaders’ desks and coffee tables in both of them. Most desks are labelled with the name of the group.
There is also an ‘Computer help desk’, a book exchange, and much more. It is also an opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones.
The Welcome Desk at horizons is for new members. When you arrive for the first time and go to the Welcome Desk, you will be introduced to someone who will explain what the U3A is, how we are organised and show you round the different groups’ tables and also the computer room and computer facilities.
The welcomers can explain to you how you can join the U3A and answer any other questions you might have. They will also give you a copy of the latest magazine.
If you think you may like to join the U3A come and see what it is like. We look forward to seeing you. You can find more information on these web pages and find out more on how to join the U3A
