Thirsk U3A meets on the second Tuesday of each month at the Parochial Hall in Sowerby.
The meeting starts at 10.00 for a 10.15am start. After notices and announcements we have an interesting speaker each month.

Visitors are welcome to attend twice before joining.

To join a group you must be a member.

Any member of another U3A group wishing to join one of our groups needs also to join Thirsk U3A as an Associate Member and pay the reduced fee of £10pa.

Similarly if one of our members applies, and is accepted to join a group belonging to another U3A they will have to join that U3A.
