Monthly Meetings

Monthly Meetings and Open Days

We meet at 2pm on the first Wednesday of each month (except August and December) in the Angel Centre, Tonbridge (map). We invite interesting speakers and always follow the talk with the chance to chat over a tea or coffee.

Once a year this meeting is dedicated to an Open Day where there is the opportunity to talk to many group leaders. Details of these meetings are given on the Events page.

We have had positive reports from most of those that joined the January monthly meeting over zoom. We will be making the February meeting available over zoom. The meeting id is published in the February Journal. These meetings are for members only. Please don’t circulate these details outside the u3a.

If you would like to be sent an e-mail with the link to these meetings each month or have any questions about this new service, please e-mail me at zoom@tonbridgeu3a.uk The zoom service is being provided for those members that cannot join us in the Medway Hall for whatever reason. 


Do come to the meeting if you are able; you would then hear the speaker live and enjoy meeting other members after the talk over a tea or coffee.

The Fabulous 50's - Delia Taylor

Our talk for April 2024, “The Fabulous 50’s” will be presented by Delia Taylor. She will give us a fun look back at the decades of the 50s and will take a look at how we lived during this period in the UK, including the fashions, radio, television, films and of course, the music -the birth of rock ‘n’ roll, which gave us stars like Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Bill Haley to name but a few. Delia has been a public speaker for over 15 years and has been auditioned and approved by the West Kent and East Sussex federations of the WI, and spoken to a wide range of organisations, including Probus Clubs, Local History Associations, Women’s Institutes and u3a’s, as well as at AGMs, and private lunches. Come along and ignite some memorable times.
