New Facebook Group

Our Vice-Chairman Chris Rock has organised a Facebook Group for Pembury U3A members. This group has been set up to enable members to stay in touch during the current restrictions. You can apply to join the group by clicking this link

Painters are Busy!

Janet Richardson has sent me this picture demonstrating that despite the current restrictions our U3A painters are still busy producing art work. This seems an ideal time to get out the media and produce a new addition for your gallery. Talking of galleries we have picture galleries on our website and if the U3A artists would like to email me a picture of their latest creation I will gladly display it. The only restrictions are that it should have been created during the current lockdown and that you are a Pembury U3A member. My email address for entries is membership@pemburyu3a.org
